Ten years ago, pianist Isata and cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason arrived on the international classical music scene by way of Britain’s Got Talent: they made a splash as the eldest and third siblings in a remarkable family of musicians. As their stars rose, the young artists lived up to the hype, earning acclaim from critics and rapturous applause from audiences for recitals, orchestral appearances, and chart-topping recordings.

The Kanneh-Masons’ artistic evolution has been nothing short of exhilarating. Sheku has become one of the most in-demand orchestral soloists of our time, bringing depth and brilliance to a repertoire that spans centuries. Isata, a pianist of remarkable insight and artistry, captivates in any setting as a performer and as a curator, acclaimed for pairing beloved masterpieces alongside overlooked treasures.

With flights of jaw-dropping virtuosity and moments of subtle camaraderie, Sheku and Isata Kanneh-Mason convey the sheer joy of classical music. Together, these siblings are unmissable.

“[Isata Kanneh-Mason] is a pianist who makes lines sing beautifully and virtuosic passages dance, finding intimacy and eloquence at telling moments… Kanneh-Mason matches what we know of [Clara Schumann’s] own approach, which was to forget ego and put everything at the service of the music.”
BBC Music Magazine

“[Sheku Kaneh-Mason] is a player who makes you tune in to every nuance of articulation, every subtle shading, every eloquent turn of phrase. … He performed with urgency and bite, impeccable technique, and, in the second movement, exquisite line as the cello sang its sotto voce hymn to the night.”
