Yo-Yo Ma in Concert

CHRISTIAN KLUXEN, conductor YO-YO MA, cello Jennifer Butler: And Birds Do Sing Elgar: Cello Concerto Sibelius: Symphony No. 2 The extraordinary cellist, globe-trotting teacher, and humanitarian Yo-Yo Ma returns to the Royal Theatre to perform with your Victoria Symphony. As the peak of our 2024/25 Season, Maestro Kluxen will welcome the award-winning cellist to perform Elgar’s moving Cello Concerto, a monumental work of universal appeal. The opening work, by Jennifer Butler, was premiered by VS in 2011 and evokes a transition from darkness to a space of unity, peace and healing. Sibelius himself thought of his Symphony No. 2 as “a struggle between death and salvation” and “a confession of the soul.” *Ticket prices are subject to change.
