Hear an astonishing young talent who has captured the world’s imagination! Since winning the BBC Young Musician Competition at 17, Sheku Kanneh-Mason has become a sought-after soloist with orchestras around the world, performing annually at Britain’s beloved Proms and even playing at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding. “Technically superb and eloquent in his expressivity” (The Guardian), he dazzles in Shostakovich’s First Cello Concerto, notoriously difficult to play and filled with virtuoso fireworks.
