Azul
A New Vision Arts Festival programme
With his profound interpretations of the classics of the cello repertoire, Yo-Yo Ma’s reputation as one of the greatest performers of our time has been complemented by his all-embracing curiosity, seeking out new music and musical collaborators to explore and expand the repertoire for his instrument. Argentinean composer Osvaldo Golijov wrote his cello concerto Azul specially for Ma and the Boston Symphony in 2006 and incorporated accordion and percussion parts to highlight the Latin flavour of his music. Singapore Symphony Music Director Lan Shui conducts Spanish-accented music by composers from Mexico, France and Argentina.
