A night to remember

First half featured Yo Yo Ma, the greatest cellist on earth. The audience was spellbound. Second half John Williams conducted a medley of his compositions. He did TWO encores ending finally with most notable Star Wars themes. The audience’s thunderous applause said it all. At 92 , the maestro still has it. The Philadelphia orchestra never disappoints in this amazing venue. ... Read more

Yo Yo Ma Bach Cello Suites at Red Rocks

My wildest dream was to someday hear Yo Y Ma play Bach at Red Rocks Amphitheater. I'm from Denver but have lived in Massachusetts for 25 years. For the pieces of this dream to come together at I time when I'd be visiting family in Colorado was magical. The concert was beyond wonderful, awe-inspiring, beautiful.

This concert will carry my spirit for a long long time. ... Read more
