Abel Selaocoe, Violoncello

In the organizer's words:

Building bridges and telling fairy tales

Concerts with South African cellist Abel Selaocoe are always an experience. Not only because he combines his classical virtuoso skills with body percussion and singing from his home country, but also because he always seeks contact with the audience. Most recently, he transformed the Elbphilharmonie into a large choir at his concert with the Aurora Orchestra, creating magical moments. He also inspires people all over the world with his solo programs. The British "Telegraph" described him as a "radiantly talented one-man band" due to his unique combination of cello, rhythm and vocals.
