House of Music by Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason

Author Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason introduces her new book House of Music: Raising the Kanneh-Masons.
Seven brothers and sisters. All of them classically trained musicians. One, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, was Young Musician of the Year and performed for the royal family. The eldest, Isata Kanneh-Mason, has released her first album, showcasing the works of Clara Schumann. These siblings don’t come from the rarefied environment of elite music schools, but from a state comprehensive in Nottingham. How did they do it?
Their mother, Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason, opens up about what it takes to raise a musical family in a Britain divided by class and race. What comes out is a beautiful and heartrending memoir of the power of determination, camaraderie and a lot of hard work. The Kanneh-Masons are a remarkable family. But what truly sparkles in this eloquent memoir is the joyous affirmation that children are a gift and we must do all we can to nurture them.

I just saw your wonderful children perform at Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Brisbane. They were amazing ... and so are you, and no doubt so is your husband. I've ordered the book and look forward to reading it. You have provided much needed light into much darkness in our world. :)
