Join us for the official launch of our 2021–22 season, a spectacular, in-person return to Verizon Hall! After more than a year without live performances, what better way to celebrate our return than with Yannick, acclaimed cellist and friend of the Orchestra Yo-Yo Ma, and the musicians of Your Philadelphia Orchestra?

Experience Saint-Saëns’s sparkling Cello Concerto, one of the greatest and most technically challenging cello pieces ever written, in the masterful hands of Yo-Yo Ma. The concert also features works by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Valerie Coleman, and Maurice Ravel, in an evening of orchestral delights celebrating the return of in-person performances.
