Caressing and dancing with both the cello and the music, he becomes transcendent. He is, truly, a prodigious talent, at one with his cello as a voice of the eternal. His sister's accompaniment is just as masterful and, together, they are as one, revealing the soul of the music as a living, breathing being, full of both pathos and joy. Wonderful.

This is the most incredible cello (and piano) playing I have ever heard in my life. I am blown away at God Almighty that He placed this much gifting and brilliance in one family. When Sheku was playing I felt as if he was plucking every string in my heart. I absolutely love string instruments. It has been years since I have played the violin (and piano) but I would love to become wealthy one day just to hear the Kanneh-Mason family in concert. Isata played the most difficult runs on the piano and is so poised. This is pure excellence. I commend the parents Stuart and Kadiatu for providing structure, direction, and giving their children a clear assignment to set their focus. This is the secret sauce to exceptional parenting.

Our last day we had to travel from Berlin to Oxford as she had bought us tickets to the opening night of the Oxford Chamber Music Festival. After travelling all day, we were so tired and said this is madness and we contemplated just staying in the hotel. Thankfully, we got there. The whole evening was excellent and Sheku was brilliant.

I’ve been studying Classical Guitar for about 4 years now, City Lit, loving it. I watched the 2020 young musicians. The Chinese guy who won on marimba percussion was brill, can’t remember his name, is it Fang Something? I liked the guy on Iranian type drum too. Great creative percussive sounds with both his voice & the drum, I liked the way he used the glass cup, and the atmosphere, reminded me of that band I just discovered not long ago: (Black Midi) brill. I’d love to come to one of your performances soon, when virus lockdown has ended it would be a very special treat to remember. God Bless to you & Fam. Earl Heaven.
