The South African cellist and composer Abel Selaocoe has an irrepressible energy and stage presence that has taken him from a township near Johannesburg to the top of the music world. Selaocoe crosses genre boundaries with ease in his cello concerto. He combines Western music from classical to soul with the sounds and traditions of his homeland – which include intense, throaty singing, which plays just as important a role in the concert as the cello. Bernhard Schimpelsberger joins on percussion.

In the second half of the concert, the Aurora Orchestra presents Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, played from memory, a work that the composer himself described as “a sheer expression of joy, happiness and the affirmation of life”.

Chris Thile is a founding member of the highly influential bluegrass string bands Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek, while his collaborators range from Jacob Collier and Brad Mehldau to Yo-Yo Ma. The delicate intricacy of his playing gives the listener “one joyous arc, with the linear melody and vertical harmony blurring into a single web of gossamer beauty.” (New York Times) 

Thile joins Britten Sinfonia and acclaimed conductor Suzie Collier, mother of and guiding light to Jacob Collier, and former violin teacher of the orchestra’s leader, Thomas Gould.
