We are excited to present "OkCello: LIVE", featuring two dynamic musical experiences by acclaimed cellist Okorie Johnson.
4pm - OkCello presents… The Offering
A fully improvised, concert experience, designed as a gift of sound and intention for the audience. The experience consists of four acts in close succession: I. Improvisation/ Meditation; II. Offering; III. Co-Creation; and IV. Living Sound.
An intensely intimate and memorable experience.
7:30pm - OkCello Live
OkCello presents an intimate concert experience of new and classic works as part of his ever-expanding sonic landscape.
Okorie “OkCello” Johnson, an Atlanta-based cellist-composer, looper, improviser, and storyteller, has been featured on the Tamron Hall Show, has been a recipient of The Kennedy Center Office Hours Artist Residency, and was accepted as a sound installation artist for the Democratic Republic of Congo’s 2022 Biennale.
Drawing upon his experience as a teacher and writer, OkCello immerses his audiences in vivid stories and songs, creating a richly layered, transcendent concert experience, while also working with companies and educational institutions to leverage the power of music and storytelling to help solve problems and create community.
