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.
