South African cellist, singer, and composer Abel Selaocoe is “one of the most captivating performers the classical music world can lay a claim on” (The Guardian).
A joyous phenomenon brimming with new ideas and approaches, the brilliant artist leads a musical adventure that will leave the audience breathless, inspired, and utterly transformed.
Challenging the limits of the cello, Selaocoe moves seamlessly across genres and styles, masterfully improvising, vocalizing, and creating his own percussion. This rich evening of solo music includes two center co-commissioned pieces, Bach, and some of the cellist’s original works. Don’t miss the chance to witness an artist redefining what the cello — and live music — can be.
