Manchester Collective and Abel Selaocoe: Sirocco

The young classically trained South African cellist and vocalist taking the world by storm, Abel Selaocoe joins us with the daring UK-based contemporary string quartet Manchester Collective, bringing their acclaimed collaboration “Sirocco” to our stage. Celebrating the warmth and diversity of folk music traditions around the world, their program is an exuberant blend of African music, folk-inflected music by Haydn and Stravinsky, Danish folk songs, and more, expanding notions of what classical music can be. Manchester Collective’s mission is to “create intimate and intense human experiences built around live music.” This is one of them – a joyful and immersive one-of-a-kind event.
