“He may be the greatest cellist in the world and, some would argue, the greatest cellist ever.”—The Washington Post
Yo-Yo Ma’s multifaceted career is a testament to his belief in culture’s power to generate trust and understanding. Whether performing new or familiar works for cello, bringing communities together to explore culture’s role in society, or engaging unexpected musical forms, he strives to foster connections that stimulate the imagination and reinforce our humanity. In celebration of the Performing Arts Center’s 30th anniversary, the 19-time Grammy Award winner makes a highly anticipated return to Athens for a solo recital of music selected from his vast repertoire.
A special gala event will follow the performance. For tickets and information, click here.
All tickets for this performance include a $30 non-refundable contribution to the Performing Arts Center’s new Arts Impact Endowment. This fund will support the Performing Arts Center’s educational outreach activities for the next 30 years and beyond.
