World traveller Abel Selaocoe 

Virtuoso skills, unbridled energy and fascinating border crossings: the South African Abel Selaocoe moves between worlds with ease and redefines the parameters of cello playing. What is associated with the instrument in the classical sense plays a rather subordinate role for him. In the »Sirocco« programme, Abel Selaocoe takes an extremely creative trip through music history with the Manchester Collective and combines Bach's cello suites with the sounds of his homeland. Beyond the usual genre boundaries, classical cello playing, improvisation, body percussion and African singing merge to create a unique sound experience.

With »Impuls Plus«, the Kölner Philharmonie invites you to an introductory talk with Cologne cellist Maria del Mar Ribas before the concert: Here you will gain deeper or completely new insights into the programme. Background stories, interesting facts and interactive elements will get you in the mood for the concert experience.  

Supported by the Kuratorium KölnMusik e. V.
