The world-renowned cellist in recital
with pianist Kathryn Stott.
With his grand and warm tone and perfor-
mances at events as diverse as international
remembrance concerts and children’s TV
programmes, French-born Chinese American
Yo-Yo Ma’s multi-faceted career is testament
to his enduring belief in culture’s power to gen-
erate trust and understanding. In 1998, Yo-Yo
established Silkroad, a collective of artists from
around the world who create music that engag-
es their many traditions. It has been 13 years
since his last appearance in Norway.
His discography includes more than 100
albums, including 19 Grammy Award winners,
two of which he won with his long-time artistic
partner, British pianist Kathryn Stott, a 2017
Festival artist. Artistic Director of the Australian
037
Festival of Chamber Music and present faculty
at the Academy of Music in Oslo, Kathryn Stott
continues to perform as both soloist and cham-
ber musician at festivals all over the globe. She
can be found performing to millions at the BBC
Proms or to twenty inner city school children
just learning to play their scales. Kathryn Stott
has built many relationships throughout her
career, with music written for her by composer
Graham Fitkin, but boasts a 30-year collabo-
rative relationship with Yo-Yo that has united
these two musical explorers.
In Grieghallen the star duo performs works by
Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff.
