Superstar cellist Yo-Yo Ma and his Silk Road Ensemble mesh musical traditions from around the world into new and enchanting hybrids. Playing music inspired by the ancient trading route connecting Europe, Central Asia and China, the group might offer Azerbaijani opera, gypsy tunes, Persian folk arrangements and feats of virtuosity on Chinese lute or Indian tablas. Tonight, view a free outdoor broadcast of a Silk Road concert, presented by PBS’s Live from Lincoln Center TV series.

“Yo-Yo Ma's musical adventures have taken him across the length and breadth of global culture. His Silk Road ensemble … has been one of his most intriguing and successful accomplishments.”
— Los Angeles Times

This broadcast is part of the Lincoln Center 50 Years celebration.
