Sheku and Isata Kanneh Mason - cello and piano recital

Event information

We open the Spring Series on Saturday 14th February at 7.00pm in St Mary’s Church with a very special recital by Sheku and Isata Kanneh-Mason, two of the most celebrated British musicians of their generation. Renowned worldwide for their musicianship, artistry and expressive rapport, the siblings bring a programme of lyrical grace and emotional power. Mendelssohn’s glowing Cello Sonata No. 1 provides a spirited opening, followed by the refined elegance of Nadia Boulanger’s Three Pieces. After the interval, Schumann’s Five Pieces in Folk Style offer warmth, wit and intimacy, before the concert concludes with Rebecca Clarke’s Viola Sonata in its cello transcription — a work of sweeping lines and bold emotion, ideally suited to these remarkable performers. A truly unmissable evening.
