Cellist from Royal Wedding, Sheku Kanneh-Mason Debuts with New York Philharmonic and Releases New Album, 'Muse'
Sheku Kanneh-Mason & Isata Kanneh-Mason | Classical Post
We all remember the royal wedding of Prince Harry to the American actress, Meghan Markle, in 2018. I remember getting up early to watch it streamed live as I know many Americans did. Serendipitously, a classical cellist performed in the ceremony that day to a global audience of 2 billion people, in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
That cellist, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, has since charted a meteoric rise to global prominence. This month, he makes his New York Philharmonic debut. He's also just released an album with his sister, the brilliant pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason.
Both Sheku and Isata join me on the Classical Post podcast today to discuss this new album called Muse, released on the Decca Classics label, featuring gorgeous works by Rachmaninoff and Barber.
Listen to this discussion about how these siblings create art together. But also, hear a brief snapshot into Sheku's New York Philharmonic debut and what it was like for him performing at the royal wedding.

Iceland calls itself “The Land of Fire and Ice.” It’s an apt description. Although Iceland’s landscapes can be barren and austere, they’re also percolating with innumerable geothermal sites that continuously spew plumes of steam into the frosty air. And don’t forget the volcanoes with their glowing lava flows. Known for its natural beauty, Iceland is not as well known for its classical musicians. That is until now. Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson has captivated the classical wold with his cerebral and sensitive performances. Ólafsson’s burgeoning Deutsche Grammophon discography ranges from the cool minimalism of Philip Glass to the intricacies of Bach and the Gallic elegance of Debussy and Rameau.

Our podcast guest today is Danielle Eva Schwob. The New Yorker hails her as a “notable cross-genre composer”, who writes concert works, experimental electro-rock, and film scores. Many listeners should care about her work because she is redefining what it means to be a "serious composer". Notable presenters have featured her work, like Lincoln Center and Le Poisson Rouge, and she has received commissions from the American Composers Forum and New Music USA. But unlike many composers who run in these circles, she has her finger on the pulse of music for big name Hollywood movies. She's worked on the music team for Manhattan Night starring Adrien Brody, and the film Mother! starring Jennifer Lawrence. We discuss her work and more, including her new album, Out of the Tunnel, featuring PUBLIQuartet.

“We’re all dressed up for nobody — which is kind of fun, actually,” muses Nicholas McGegan shortly before a performance at Cleveland’s Severance Hall, certainly a sign of the times in which concert life proceeds without an audience, and of the conductor’s unwavering high spirits, even during a challenging year.
