Okorie "OkCello" Johnson is an Atlanta-based cellist-composer, looper, improviser, and storyteller. His work centers on themes and expressions of the African Diaspora, while also exploring the phenomenon of musical prayer. Drawing upon his experience as a teacher and writer, Ok Cello immerses his audiences in vivid stories and songs, creating a richly layered, transcendent cello experience.
The 2024 - 2025 UpstART Season is co-sponsored by the Division of Equity, Justice, and Inclusive Excellence (EJIE)
The OkCello concert is co-sponsored by a Friend of UC Merced Arts
