Beloved by Santa Barbara audiences and returning once again to Arts & Lectures, legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma offers a rare opportunity to experience a full solo recital program.
This singular evening features three new works commissioned specially for Yo-Yo Ma by A&L.
Genre-defying South African cellist Abel Selaocoe contributes a piece rooted in African ideals and expressing the universality of the natural world.
Pulitzer Prize-winner Caroline Shaw’s composition imagines a sound that has, in her words, “never been heard before but has always existed.”
The program culminates in a new piece drawing on music that Yo-Yo Ma has encountered during his recent and ongoing exploration of the ways that culture can reinvigorate our connection to the natural world, with a particular focus on water.
This one-night-only performance is sure to sell out.
