Endowment Benefit Event
PCA Great Performances proudly presents one of the most treasured, accomplished, and beloved artists in history. Yo-Yo Ma’s multifaceted career is testament to his exploration of music as a means of communication, personal renewal, and artistic growth. Ma will perform selections from J.S. Bach’s Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello. This will be Yo-Yo Ma’s eighth performance with PCA; he first performed in Portland during our 1982–83 season, when he was just twenty-seven.

Robert Lehmann, a professor at the University of Maine’s School of Music, will discuss Yo-Yo Ma’s program, which includes selections from J.S. Bach’s cello suites. Yo-Yo Ma will perform a concert to benefit the PCA Great Performances endowment just after the lecture, at 7:30 pm.
