Join Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Kathryn Stott on Saturday, November 14 on IDAGIO’s Global Concert Hall for “Songs of Comfort and Hope.” Playing live from Taiwan at 2:30 pm local time, Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Kathryn Stott share songs of comfort and hope, bringing together traditional and new takes on familiar works from Europe, Asia and the Americas to offer solace and connection in a time of anxiety and isolation. The concert will be able to stream for 36 hours following the concert.
The program will include selections from the forthcoming album of the same title, to be released on December 11.
“Songs,” the artists write, “are little time capsules of emotions in which connections intertwine with long-lost dreams and desires, feelings of great spirit, optimism and unity. Songs bring a sense of community, identity and purpose, transcending boundaries and binding us together in thanks, consolation and encouragement.”
