Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma student rush ticket tip

The Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma

Word to the wise:

If you're a student (as in, with an ID) and you want to hear The Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma at Symphony Hall at a student rush ticket price ($20), think Monday, March 9. That's when we are offering rush tickets and that's the show that has more than a couple of tickets left (plenty for non-students, too). Plus, Monday's performance has the very cool multi-media chamber arrangement of "Layla and Majnun," the epic Central Asian opera based on the ancient
love story that Ma describes as "the 'Romeo and Juliet' of the
Azeri-Persian-Arabic world."
