Australian Chamber Orchestra - Abel Selaocoe
6 April '25

Abel Selaocoe

Concert Hall at the Opera House, Sydney

Presented by Australian Chamber Orchestra
The international cello sensation brings a kaleidoscope of rhythm and sound to his highly anticipated Australian debut.

6th April '25 in 5 months. Tickets $49 to $158

When Abel Selaocoe makes music, he gathers together an unbelievable harmony of classical cello, African traditions, throat singing, percussion, and unbridled joy. He performs with equal parts grace and fire, whether he's directing his own compositions, improvising, or inhabiting Baroque music. Feeling him perform is a joyful surrender to his irresistible beat. Bringing the rhythm is Selaocoe's regular collaborator, percussionist Sidiki Dembélé.

The curiosity and calibre of the ACO is a perfect match for Selaocoe's charisma, as he makes his Australian debut performing his original works alongside a new commission from renowned Australian composer Nigel Westlake and excerpts from cellist and composer Giovanni Sollima's electrifying double concerto When We Were Trees.


Selaocoe's rare affinity for the cello is the thread that draws together the musical worlds he inhabits, as he explores and celebrates the sounds of the South African culture that made him.
He's now in demand all over the world, making his mark on classical music by bringing his infectious exuberance and drive for innovation to orchestras and ensembles everywhere.
