Manchester Collective & Abel Selaocoe: Sirocco

Abel Selaocoe cello

Simmy Singh violin
Ruth Gibson viola
Alan Keary bass guitar
Sidiki Dembele percussion

Joy, warmth and irrepressible energy. Sirocco is a great storm of music from across the world, played with heart and virtuosity. Earning standing ovations from New York to Frankfurt, its infectious spirit will have you up on your feet and singing along.

Expect the unexpected as original South African folk rubs shoulders with music from the Western canon. Classical strings dance to the beat of African drums and electric bass guitar. Outrageous solos await.

Sirocco is a love letter to music and camaraderie, crafted by Manchester Collective with singular cellist and storyteller Abel Selaocoe over the years. Each performance is different from the last.

Join us to celebrate the unifying power of music in what may be Sirocco’s boldest tour yet.
