South African Cellist Abel Selaoco, Richardson Auditorium

Tuesday September 30, 2025
6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

6 and 9pm

On Tuesday, September 30 at 6PM & 9PM, South African cellist Abel Selaocoe makes his highly anticipated PUC debut. An international sensation since his BBC Proms breakthrough in 2021, Selaocoe has been redefining classical music by blending virtuosic cello playing with the traditions of his South African roots, throat singing, improvisation, and uncontainable joy. His program features music by J.S. Bach alongside a new work co-commissioned by PUC by visionary composer Michel van der Aa, a new work by Ben Nobuto, and his own genre-defying fusions of global traditions.
