John Williams Spotlight Festival: Yo-Yo Ma, Williams & Dudamel
Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by John Williams & Gustavo Dudamel - Walt Disney Concert Hall
Program Info: Los Angeles Philharmonic Gustavo Dudamel, conductor John Williams, conductor and curator Yo-Yo Ma, cello
John Williams describes his friendship with legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma as “one of the treasures of my life,” and Ma has affectionately referred to the composer as “Ludwig.” The duo has been close collaborators since the early 1980s, leading to Williams writing music with Ma’s cello in mind and working together on the 2022 album A Gathering of Friends. Williams and Gustavo Dudamel share a similar friendship, built on artistic admiration and understanding, and the trio combine for an exhilarating night of Williams’ music.
