To celebrate the golden anniversary of the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra, the world's greatest cellist Yo-Yo Ma was invited to be the special guest artist. What a thrill for Huntsville to have this talented man in our city, playing with our Orchestra! Yo-Yo Ma's schedule and demand is such that he only plays two community orchestra concerts a year.

Special thanks to Ron Roberts, for sharing his photos and comments on Yo-Yo Ma's visit to Huntsville.

Here Yo-Yo is seen with Huntsville Symphony Orchestra's Music Director and Conductor, Carlos Miguel Prieto, his wife Isabel and 14-month old daughter, Ana.
