Yo-Yo Ma
Yo-Yo Ma's presence was undeniably that of a prodigious musician as his first bow strokes of the cello resonated powerfully in the hall.

Why see Yo-Yo Ma?

A night to remember
First half featured Yo Yo Ma, the greatest cellist on earth. The audience was spellbound. Second half John Williams conducted a medley of his compositions. He did TWO encores ending finally with most notable Star Wars themes. The audience’s thunderous applause said it all. At 92 , the maestro still has it. The Philadelphia orchestra never disappoints in this amazing venue. ... Read more

Red Rocks at it's Best with the Best.
Truly a master with a talent beyond most mortal comprehension.
This was joy in action. Ma loves the music, the crowd, his cello, and
his gift and expresses his joy so unabashedly with his expression.
Totally a bucket lister for me. I was in row 9 in front of the right
bank of speakers. In my seat sound level was perfect, but I did
think a couple of times that just a bit more volume would have
brought the acoustics of the amphitheater into play to a higher
degree. I spoke to some people in row 57 and they said that they
had to struggle to hear, especially when the breeze picked up a bit.
An amazing show with a wonderful crowd.

Yo Yo Ma Bach Cello Suites at Red Rocks
My wildest dream was to someday hear Yo Y Ma play Bach at Red
Rocks Amphitheater. I'm from Denver but have lived in Massachusetts
for 25 years. For the pieces of this dream to come together at I time
when I'd be visiting family in Colorado was magical. The concert was
beyond wonderful, awe-inspiring, beautiful. For me it was a spiritual
experience. Being at Red Rocks, listening to Bach played by an amazing
cellist and an even more amazing human being, is an experience of a
lifetime for me! This concert will carry my spirit for a long long time. ... Read more
