The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra: “Four Spirits” with Abel Selaocoe

About

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.
