Yo Yo Ma, the world's greatest cellist, is gifting our city with free concert this Thursday. He is playing all six Bach unaccompanied cello suites in one sitting. That's over 2 hours of sublime bliss. I'm so hyped, I've convinced several friends to take the day off and join me. The concert will be at the beautiful Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park -
It starts at 6pm, but you've got to be there by a least 4pm if you want any square footage of valuable lawn real estate. I'm going to get there early at about 2pm with a couple of blankets. lawn chairs, and a cooler. I should get right up front that early. I'll just people watch and read my book until friends get there. This will be something to remember, thank you, Mr. Ma...
If you can't make it and would still like to listen to him play all six suites, here you go. You're welcome...
