                     KANNEH-MASON







                           THE VIRTUOSO CELLIST OF THE ROYAL WEDDING








                              heku Kanneh-Mason is Britain´s  hottest young cello
                              player. Though only 19 years old, Sheku Kanneh-
                              Mason is world-renowned. His parents, Stuart
                    S Mason and Dr. Kadiatu Kanneh, are not musicians.
                     However, they have struggled, and succeeded, to provide their
                     seven prodigious children with the tools necessary to hone their
                     musical talents.

                     All,  but the two who are still too young, study at the  Royal
                     Academy of Music. The three eldest Kanneh-Mason siblings
                     also perform with Chineke! Orchestra: “…the first professional
                     orchestra in Europe to be made up of majority black and
                     minority ethnic musicians.” Sheku Kanneh-Mason made his
                     BBC Proms debut at Royal Albert Hall as a soloist with the
                     Chineke! Orchestra in 2017.
