Did anyone else spot his elder brother playing the violin ? Sheku is a wonderfully talented cellist- simply sublime ❤️👌

[@brserralheiro]

No wonder they were both consigned fine instruments that enable them to produce a sound up to their skill. This is a 400 year old Amati cello. Let's agree the instrument is in proper hands.

[@984francis]

Braimah is a FINE violinist and in the shadow of Sheku. I'm waiting for him to show who he is s a soloist.

[@toscanaremi]

I think Jeneba might be the next soloist in the family

[@aatt3209]

Dvorak has an ear-to-ear smile on his face in heaven listening to Sheku Kanneh-Mason I am sure.

[@elaines5750]

What strikes me is his absolute poise at such a tender age. Can you imagine his genius 10, 20 years from now??

GOD has given this family a tremendous gift. The key for your success is unity, love and obedience. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your pathways.

Waw. It's the first time I see an orchestra with a lot of musicians from multiple ethnicities. I hope to see more orchestras like that in the future. So great 👍

I think Sheku’s amazing and Chineke! Is a wonderful orchestra but I don’t think you should have an orchestra where you are only allowed to join if you are black. If someone started an all white orchestra there would be an absolute outcry.

[@cliffhughes6010]

I was very happy and proud to be there - the atmosphere was electric and, as you can hear, the performance was wonderful.

I am very glad he was high lighted from the Royal wedding, but since then I found out his entire family is uniquely talented beyond words. I love this master play cello. They all take my breath away.This is evidence that practice, practice, practice, but they all love it so much passion. I can go on . Magnificent stella performances everytime👏👏

Molto grazie per la musica divina e anche una famiglia talentosa! I am referring to the KANNEH-MASON children/family. It is always quite difficult for me to walk away from such glorious music and this wondrous family. Along with all those in this video, what an ENTHRALLINGLY lovely sight!

Goose bumps Forgive my ignorance, but i was made to believe there are no black ish ochestras! I dont believe there is anything like a black person plaing musiv or singing. The emotions are uncontainable. Soooo grateful to you guys and we than God for open doors to a new generation of humanity who enjoy and rejoice in one another regardless of the race, religion gender whatever you are. Just be yourself Sheku and comapny. I am so happy. Been hooked since the royal wedding.

I was so fortunate to get a ticket to hear this incredibly talented musician playing Elgar at the Cheltenham Festivals last Friday, 5th July. I am not ashamed to say the Sheku`s playing of Elgar was not only very emotional for me But for the whole of the appreciative audience. It was out standing. Thank you for a total and unforgettable evening.

[@robertbrainerd5919]

Dvorak uses music to exclaim his happiness and sadness at once. Romantic music is a language.

[@lindamanas6735]

Love the way he smiles when he plays but he never shows off so doesn’t distract the listener from the music

[@masteryoda5237]

@@ursulabean3179 Ok, I don't think they're the most musically talented in the world. There are a bunch of kids out there who practice for like 9 hours a day and they have world class professors as their parents. So, not the most musically talented by quite a bit, but wonderful family.

[@pamelajudithrwanyarare8429]

@@masteryoda5237 She might be right because the Kaneh-Mason are all classical musicians. Yes there are other talented kids but it's one or 2 siblings but with this family all the children play to a very high international standard and that's what makes them unique. Plus they enjoy it and love it. I have heard of one family which were the Von Trapps in Austria in the 1940s, however they were OK and they were doing it because they were forced to. The talent was good but not great and some of the children did not enjoy it. However these ones are great and enjoy and love what they do.

[@paulgreen9792]

Music expresses wordless odyssey’s. I was unfamiliar with this piece except the composer is a renowned genius. His music is very and deeply satisfying. This one, for me, was like that pleasant realm when not quite asleep and the soul anticipates it’s escape from the burdens of the day or anticipates wandering through multi-dimensional dreams. Mr. Sheku’s swift looking Afro accentuates his intense outpouring of love through his cello. This is how it should be. All the members of the orchestra were very focused with the intent to make the music shine. What a wonderful evening this makes. Kudos also for the conductor. PWG
