Sheku Kanneh-Mason, cello 

Isata Kanneh-Mason, piano 

at Groton Hill Music Center 

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.
