About This Event

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 ±«Óătv National Orchestra of Wales for a concert covering typically broad musical ground.

There will be no interval
