Earl Lee at Tanglewood with Yo Yo Ma

Earl Lee talks about his final concert as Assistant Conductor with Yo Yo Ma and the Boston Symphony - a program with a particularly personal connection, as he describes. His Korean-Canadian background: focal dystonia and the cello; a fascinating insight into the different stripes of conductors; and this most romantic of cello concertos that he knows so well.

Earl Lee conducts Yo Yo Ma in the Schumann cello concerto alongside Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 and new work by Carlos Simon: 2:30pm, Sunday August 18 at the Music Shed at Tanglewood

Charlotte Wilson has been immersed in classical music all her life. Her parents were great music lovers, always had something playing on the radio or turntable, and she began on recorder and then piano before she can remember. Charlotte originally wanted to be a concert pianist but just didn’t quite have it, no matter how hard she practiced! She tried many other instruments slightly too late (violin, cello, clarinet) before discovering radio. Charlotte can be heard from 4-8pm weekdays and 10-2 on Saturdays.
