The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra: “The Centre is Everywhere” with Abel Selaocoe

Artistic Partner Abel Selaocoe returns to lead an ethereal musical kaleidoscope of minimalism, spirituality and transformation. Taking its name from Edmund Finnis’ The Centre is Everywhere for twelve string players — which itself is a reference to an anonymous, medieval definition of God as ‘an infinite sphere whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere’ — this program is an exploration of music as texture, pattern and movement across time. From contemporary soundscapes to raw, emotional improvisation, the music ebbs in waves, balancing meditative moments with driving intensity that invites you to be present with us in the moment.
