About this event

American cellist Yo-Yo Ma has been a regular Proms soloist for almost 40 years, and now tackles perhaps his boldest performance to date. He performs the complete Bach solo cello suites 鈥� over two hours of music 鈥� in a single concert: a feat as challenging intellectually as it is physically. Though neglected until the 20th century, the suites represent some of Bach鈥檚 greatest musical achievements 鈥� music at its purest and most profound. Ma鈥檚 relationship with them extends back over many decades and multiple recordings, generating expressive performances distinguished by their depth of emotion.
