TAKE FIVE: Abel Selaoceo will make you rethink whats possible with the Cello.

Cellist Abel Selaocoe bends parameters of tradition and style as gracefully as his bow bends the strings of its instrument. The South African musician has performed as a chamber musician and as a soloist across the UK, played as part of a virtual celebration of Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s 90th birthday alongside classical legend Yo-Yo Ma and most recently released a three-part BBC radio show called Cello Retold. Peppering his performances with vocals, improvisations and body percussion, Selaocoe delivers his electrifying blend of classical, jazz, folk, traditional African music and more to the Stanford campus.
