South African cellist Abel Selaocoe is a force of nature—celebrated for breaking boundaries and captivating audiences around the globe. He brings his unique artistry to the North American Première of Jessie Montgomery’s powerful new Cello Concerto. The evening then soars into mythic realms with the haunting legend of The Flying Dutchman and the sweeping grandeur of Götterdämmerung—a tale of betrayal, love, sacrifice, and the twilight of the gods.
