In a career spanning four decades, internationally revered cellist Yo-Yo Ma has dazzled the world as both a musician and a champion for culture's impact on humanity. For one night only, he joins us to honor his close friend, Michael Stern, as part of Stern's final season as music director of the Kansas City Symphony.
I'm pleased to join the orchestra at the Julia Irene Kauffman Casavant pipe organ for the Enigma Variations.
