Douglas Lilburn Auditorium, Town Hall, 12 November. Only a stellar performer like Yo-Yo Ma could contemplate performing Bach's six Cello Suites in 36 locations around the world, in each concert playing them back-to-back in one sitting. Joseph Johnson/Stuff The Yo Yo Ma concert was "one of the most extraordinary events that the Town Hall is ever likely to see" says Patrick Shepherd. I mention this because with every note you sense that Ma is not just playing the music but using it as a vehicle to tap into some deeper message.
