The Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma at the Greek

Visionary cellist Yo-Yo Ma returns to the Greek for a concert under the stars with a project close to his heart—The Silk Road Ensemble, an extraordinary musical think tank of cross-cultural collaboration and artistic excellence. The collection of virtuosi, versed in the musical cultures of Asia, Europe, and the Americas, performs lively arrangements of traditional music as well as contemporary works by composers from around the globe, blending Western string instruments with classical and folk percussion, strings, and winds in performances of "spontaneity and superb craftsmanship" (Washington Post).
