The exceptionally talented Kanneh-Mason family have

been changing the landscape of classical music, promoting the importance of music in education and performing together at prestigious events across the globe. Siblings Sheku (cello) and Isata’s (piano) musical empathy and rapport, borne from years of playing and performing together is an experience like no other.

Tonight, they perform a programme of specially selected works for cello and piano. Pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason is in great demand internationally as a soloist and chamber musician. Her 2019 album, Romance – the Piano Music of Clara Schumann, entered the UK classical charts at No. 1.

After winning the BBC Young Musician competition in 2016, Sheku has performed across the globe with a mission to make music accessible to all. ‘The Kanneh-Mason family have transformed the world of classical music with their stunning performances and sincere advocacy, and the collaboration between Sheku and Isata Kanneh-Mason is a joy to behold: immensely engaging players: a star duo is born’ (The Independent)
