About This Program

Approximate length 1:34

Abel Selaocoe's expansive imagination knows no bounds - the SPCO's newest Artistic Partner embraces singing, dancing, composition and improvisation equally in joyful and powerful music-making. His recent cello concerto, Four Spirits, is drawn from his South African roots and seeks to create a communal experience with the audience alongside works by two of Selaocoe's many musical influences - Norwegian jazz instrumentalist Marius Neset and Russian composer Igor Stravinsky.

Location: Ordway Concert Hall.
