“Amid Tears and Sorrow:” Finding Hope in Beethoven’s Middle Period. Music & Conversation — Emanuel Ax & Yo-Yo Ma

About this event

Three special events with pianist Emanuel Ax and cellist Yo-Yo Ma: they’ve made music together for more than 40 years, recording dozens of albums, winning five Grammy Awards, and performing on stages all over the world. Their friendship is rooted in a deep love of music, but also a shared affection for jokes (good and bad) and keen perspectives on life’s joys and challenges.
