Discover where music from different worlds finds a shared home. At its heart is the remarkable and charismatic Abel Selaocoe cellist, vocalist, and creator, whose works, from the tender Lerato (Love)to the powerful Qhawe and triumphant Ibuyile l’Africa is Back, draw on his South African roots to explore belonging and spirit. Interwoven with Janáček’s drama, Debussy’s intimacy, and Sibelius’s warmth, this concert uplifts and connects, mesmerizing listeners across continents and home again.
