With founder, artistic director and fellow Ensemble member Yo-Yo Ma, this eclectic group will gather at Tanglewood in Lenox, Massachusetts, to perform two concerts at Ozawa Hall on June 22 and 24, 2012. Performances begin at 8 p.m. on both evenings.

So Tanglewood is, if you will, the Ensemble’s birthplace, and it remains an inspiration for us.
On both evenings the Ensemble will perform internationally inspired music by composers Giovanni Sollima from Sicily (Taranta Project) and Sapo Perapaskero from Romania (Turceasca).
