The mainstage event Yo-Yo Ma cello

Thursday, February 26, 2009   7:30 pm More information about the show

This masterclass with the celebrated cellist is a very special opportunity for three young Maine cello students, selected in collaboration with our longtime classical music partners in the region, to play and learn under the watchful tutelage of one of the greatest artists in history.  The class is also open to the public for a $10 audit/observation fee.  Please note that masterclass admission will be available for cash or check only at the door at Merrill, beginning at 2 pm on Thursday, February 26.  The masterclass will begin promptly at 3 pm.  No reservations are being accepted.  For more information, contact Barri Lynn Moreau at (207) 773-3150, x227.

Robert Lehmann, a professor at the University of Maine’s School of Music, will discuss Yo-Yo Ma’s program, which includes selections from J.S. Bach’s cello suites. Yo-Yo Ma will perform a concert to benefit the PCA Great Performances endowment just after the lecture, at 7:30 pm.
