Okorie “OkCello” Johnson at Shubert Theatre

Cellist and songwriter Okorie Johnson, known on stage as OkCello, brings a genre-blending performance that expands traditional ideas of the cello. His music weaves together classical technique with jazz, EDM, reggae, and funk, using live sound looping, improvisation, and storytelling to create original compositions rooted in African Diasporic melodies and narratives. The performance offers a dynamic exploration of how sound, history, and identity intersect through a contemporary lens.

This concert takes place on Thursday, January 8, 2026, at 7 pm at Shubert Theatre, located at 247 College Street, New Haven, CT. Tickets and additional details are available through the venue.
