About This Event

South African cellist Abel Selaocoe is redefining his instrument, blending traditional playing styles with improvisation, singing and body percussion. Get ready for a boundary-crossing concert with the ´óÏó´«Ã½ NOW showcasing his unique brand of musical fusion.

With ‘knock-out charm’ to match his virtuoso skill, South African cellist Abel Selaocoe is redefining the instrument and having a blast doing it. Blending traditional playing styles with improvisation, singing and body percussion, his energised performances bring together classical and world music in a unique fusion. He is joined by Simo Lagnawi on guembri (three-stringed Moroccan lute) and by other members of his own trio, Chesaba, as well as the ´óÏó´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales for a concert covering typically broad musical ground.
