One of the most vibrant musical partnerships before the public today, classical music superstar Yo-Yo Ma and his longtime collaborator pianist Kathryn Stott have performed and recorded together for more than 30 years and make an exclusive Orange County recital appearance together in this special evening.

The program includes music from the duo’s all-new recording Songs from the Arc of Life (released September 2015), including two settings of the traditional “Ave Maria,” as well as a haunting piece by the contemporary composer Giovanni Sollima.
