The cellist personally invited by Meghan Markle to play at The Royal Wedding!
Sheku Kanneh-Mason on performing at The Royal Wedding: “It was such an awesome moment – just really incredible to perform for Prince Harry and Meghan at their wedding! The atmosphere was amazing and I’m proud to have played a small part in the celebrations. It’s a day I will remember for the rest of my life”
Sheku made chart history with his debut album, ‘Inspiration’, which was released earlier this year on Decca Classics and features his personal selection of music – from Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No.1 to Bob Marley’s ‘No Woman, No Cry’. It was recorded in Birmingham and his hometown of Nottingham with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) and Music Director Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla.
Sheku’s version of Bob Marley’s ‘No Woman, No Cry’ went viral worldwide and he became the first BBC Young Musician winner to enter the Official UK Albums Chart with a debut recording, as well as the youngest cellist ever to reach the Top 20. He is one of this year’s biggest breakthrough artists – across any genre.
Sheku Kanneh-Mason has garnered huge critical acclaim for his performances with The Times describing him as “spellbinding” and “magnetic”.
