Dominic Seldis

Dominic shares his personal, and sometimes almost unbelievable, stories with his trademark mix of humor, charm, and British flair.

With his double bass always by his side, he performs music from every corner of his diverse career: from classical masterpieces to swinging jazz, from film music to surprising pop arrangements. Expect a show full of virtuosity, laughter, and musical magic — and, above all, an evening where Dominic does what he does best: entertain and surprise.
