LIMITED TICKET AVAILABILITY. The world’s most famous living cellist, Yo-Yo Ma, returns to the Meany Hall stage for a solo recital. Ma has enjoyed a prolific career as both a soloist performing with orchestras around the world and as a recording artist. His 90 albums have received 17 Grammy Awards. He plays two instruments—the Montagnana, made in 1733 by Antonio Stradivari, and the 1712 Davidoff Stradivarius.
This appearance presents a rare opportunity for audience members to experience Ma’s virtuosity in a far more intimate space than is usual for an artist of his stature – a venue with outstanding acoustics where no seat is farther than 90 feet from the stage.
