Yo-Yo Ma is incomparable. No musician has shown more commitment to exploring a whole range of musical cultures—and none has done it with more skill and artistry. In this program, Ma takes you through 19th-century Vienna and Paris, Soviet Russia, Argentina, and contemporary Brazil—all with Kathryn Stott, “an excellent soulmate for Ma” (The Times).

This is a meeting of musical legends. Galway is both an exemplary artist and a master showman, “a model of how to handle both a flute and an audience” (The Washington Post). Time, echoing the sentiments of most chamber-music fans, has called the Emerson “America’s greatest quartet.” Each performs separately, in addition to joining forces in music by Mozart and Foote.
