Yo-Yo Ma is an icon around the world for his staggering talent, extraordinary technique, and zest for musical partnerships. Whether he's appearing as an orchestral soloist or collaborating with the biggest stars in bluegrass, he draws audiences in with his compelling, committed performances.

On the recital stage, Ma has a long and fruitful performing and recording partnership with pianist Kathryn Stott. Internationally recognized as one of Britain’s most versatile and imaginative pianists, the Washington Post wrote Stott is “every bit Ma’s equal, playing with striking individuality.” Together they have toured the globe and released multiple albums. They make their first appearance together at Symphony Hall since 2015.

Be there when Yo-Yo Ma and Kathryn Stott share a virtuosic and moving evening of music!
