An Evening with Yo-Yo Ma coming to Tanger Center on April 14

World-famous Grammy Award-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma pairs repertoire from the center of his musical firmament with reflections on how it has shaped his thinking about art, human nature, and our search for meaning in An Evening with Yo-Yo Ma: Reflections in Words and Music, presented by the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra, coming to the Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts on April 14.

Tickets go on sale Friday, October 17 at 10 a.m. at TangerCenter.com and Ticketmaster.com.

Yo-Yo Ma’s multi-faceted career is 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, Yo-Yo strives to foster connections that stimulate the imagination and reinforce our humanity.

Most recently, Yo-Yo began Our Common Nature, a cultural journey to celebrate the ways that nature can reunite us in pursuit of a shared future. Our Common Nature follows the Bach Project, a 36-community, six-continent tour of J. S. Bach’s cello suites paired with local cultural programming. Both endeavors reflect Yo-Yo’s lifelong commitment to stretching the boundaries of genre and tradition to understand how music helps us to imagine and build a stronger society.
