yo-yo ma plays golijov

Jeffrey Kahane conductor
Yo-Yo Ma cello
Michael Ward-Bergeman hyper-accordion
Jamey Haddad percussion

Fauré - Elegy
Osvaldo Golijov - Azul (West Coast premiere)
Beethoven - Symphony No. 7 in A major

Feel the electricity when Yo-Yo Ma performs Osvaldo Golijov’s Azul, a work inspired by the open air and the deep blue of the night sky. In writing for the celebrated cellist, Golijov—one of the premier composers of our time—marries the technology of the 21st-century and Baroque sensibility with astonishing results. Don’t miss Yo-Yo Ma in the Golijov work written for him!
