About the Performance
South African cellist-composer Abel Selaocoe joins Marin Alsop and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for Four Spirits, which "takes the concerto format to thrillingly unprecedented places" (Bachtrack). Themes of ancestral wisdom, faith, and community permeate as the piece is put in perspective alongside Beethoven's monumental Fifth Symphony, with its distinct explorations of fate.
