Abel Selaocoe & The Bantu Ensemble - Schedule, Program & Tickets

"Of all the cellists in the world, I don't know anyone who radiates as much heart and joy as Abel Selaocoe," wrote an enthusiastic reviewer in "The Times" about the South African native. The musician, who studied at the Royal Northern College in Manchester, is a crosser between cultures, one who redefines the parameters of his instrument. Selaocoe moves naturally in different musical worlds and combines virtuoso skills with improvisation, singing and body percussion. His performances reflect the colorful combination of genres and styles in a fascinating way and range from collaborations with musicians from world and jazz music to classical cello concerts and solo performances. Wherever he performs, Abel Selaocoe opens the ears and hearts of his listeners - an exceptional artist who will also enchant the festival audience!
