There are very few living artists whose names are synonymous with their instrument. Yo-Yo Ma is one of them. With more than 90 albums, 19 Grammy Awards, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and a legacy that spans generations, he’s not just a cellist—he’s a global cultural ambassador.
And now, for one night only, he’s bringing his music—and his message—to Greensboro.

One of the World’s Greatest Cellists. One Unforgettable Night.
Tuesday | April 14, 2026 | 7:30 PM
Venue: Steven Tanger Center for Performing Arts
This isn’t your typical classical music concert.
When Yo-Yo Ma performs, he doesn’t just play Bach and Beethoven. He shares stories, invites conversation, and creates connection through culture.
At a recent event, audiences were treated to something far more intimate than a traditional performance. A reviewer shared, “The discussion explored themes of truth, trust, and the role of culture in building community—insightful and well-aligned with what one might expect from a speaker series. Musically, Yo-Yo Ma graced the audience with four performances, the last of which was the iconic Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major by Bach. While the earlier pieces were brief, they offered a glimpse of his artistry.”
Yo-Yo Ma doesn’t simply perform—he builds bridges. If you come expecting a concert, you’ll receive something much more lasting: a reminder that culture, when shared, is the language of connection.
