After the great success that the South African cellist, singer and composer Abel Selaocoe had with us last spring with the Bantu Ensemble and "Ancestral Memories", we are delighted to welcome this crossover artist between the musical cultures of European classical music and South Africa again. Virtuoso on his instrument and with an expressive voice, with which Abel also masters an overtone singing style called Umngqokolo, he creates intense music full of suggestion and expressiveness. This time he will be playing together with the experimental, memorized Aurora Orchestra, which has Beethoven's Seventh on the program alongside Abel's work "Four Spirits".

Konzerthaus Berlin
The Konzerthaus Berlin is a concert hall in Berlin and home of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin. Situated on the Gendarmenmarkt square in the central Mitte district of the city, it was originally built as a theater. It initially operated from 1818 to 1821 under the name of the Schauspielhaus Berlin, then as the Theater am Gendarmenmarkt and Komödie. It became a concert hall after the Second World War, and its name changed to its present one in 1994.
The Konzerthausorchester Berlin is the resident orchestra of the Konzerthaus Berlin. The concert hall also hosts Young Euro Classic every summer, an international festival of youth orchestras.
