Best Classical in Albany

Yo-Yo Ma at Saratoga Performing Arts Center

Yo-Yo Ma

Needing almost no introduction, multiple Grammy-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma is unarguably one of classical music's biggest star. The virtuoso performs all over the world to sold-out houses and remains one of the best-selling recording artists in the classical field. His versatility, energy, and pure love of creating and performing exquisite music make him a favorite for audiences of all ages.

Philadelphia Orchestra - Carmina Burana at Saratoga Performing Arts Center

Philadelphia Orchestra - Carmina Burana

No season is complete without a rousing performance of Carl Orff's lustful and triumphant Carmina Burana and its showstopping O Fortuna chorus. Conductor and Grammy winner (and perfumer!) Fabio Luisi conducts the Philadelphia Orchestra through this roof-raising piece, joined by the Mendelssohn Chorus of Philadelphia, Philadelphia Boys Choir and Philadelphia Girls Choir, as well as soprano Audrey Luna, tenor Sunnyboy Dladla and baritone Sean Michael Plumb.
