An Afternoon with Yo-Yo Ma

June 8 2025

3 p.m.
Chrysler Hall 215 St. Paul's Blvd., Norfolk, VA Price: $35-$125 plus fees

He’s a 19-time Grammy winner who has performed for nine American presidents and been presented both the National Medal of Arts and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. But beyond his musical mastery, Yo-Yo Ma has become an ambassador for humanity, championing music and the arts as a path to peace and understanding. This special performance 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. Together, the cellist’s music and words ask us to consider what music is for, and how it can guide us on a path to hope.
