Yoko Only: A Night Celebrating the Music of Yoko Ono

The music of Yoko Ono and Plastic Ono Band performed by indie rock icons Yo La Tengo with Nels Cline and Yuka Honda and featured artists Theo Bleckmann, Finom, Dave Harrington, Emi Helfrich, Satomi Matsuzaki (Deerhoof), Maggie Parkins, Patrick Shiroishi, Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney), Sylvan Esso, Tune-Yards, and Rufus Wainwright.

The Broad’s summer concert series returns for one spectacular night with Yoko Only, an evening dedicated to the musical creativity of Yoko Ono and Plastic Ono Band.

Guest curator Yuka Honda (eucademix, Cibo Matto) has assembled and joined a supergroup with Yo La Tengo and Nels Cline (Wilco, Nels Cline Singers), thoughtfully arranging Ono’s compositions and intentionally matching songs to renowned guest musicians and vocalists whose work reflects Ono’s themes. Together, they’ll interpret selections from the catalog of an artist who has inspired generations, ranging from the avant-garde and experimental to Billboard hits. Presented in conjunction with the special exhibition, Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind.
