There is no performer in the world right now quite like the cellist Abel Selaocoe. His extraordinary performances fuse African and European music and blend traditional playing styles with improvisation, singing and body percussion. He鈥檚 the centre of this concert鈥檚 first half, collaborating with the orchestra and Thomas Dausgaard to explore a free-flowing selection of music which includes Abel鈥檚 own compositions and cello virtuoso Giovanni Sollima鈥檚 'homage' to Boccherini, the 'L.B. Files.' After the interval our Nielsen cycle continues with the grippingly powerful Fifth Symphony, a work that鈥檚 among the great anti-war testaments of the 20th century. Join us for what鈥檚 bound to be an unforgettable afternoon.
