Esa-Pekka Salonen Returns To Conduct his Own Cello Concerto, feauring Yo-Yo Ma
The beloved past music director of the LA Philharmonic, Esa-Pekka Salonen is afforded a hero's welcome home as he returns to conduct three of his concertos in a series of special concerts featuring world renowned guest performers. Cello virtuoso and classical music icon Yo Yo Ma kicks off the first program, performing in the West Coast debut of Salonen's Cello Concerto.
Salonen once described Yo-Yo Ma as "one of the most unique life givers of our time", a performer whose technique knows no limits. He is therefore the perfect soloist for this challenging yet exquisitely beautiful concerto, one that showcases the composer's deft hand with instrumental color, and musical light and shade. The program ends with Beethoven's exciting Symphony No. 7.
Program:
Biber - Battalia
Salonen - Cello Concerto
Beethoven - Symphony No. 7
