They got there own orchestra . The neighbors are not complaining because you normally have to pay to hear this kind of talent. Amazing.

Sheku Kanneh-Mason was beautifully captivating at the Royal Wedding yesterday! And it is a wonderful thing that they are all so supportive of each other, all in the name of a great musical outcome. Bravo to them all!

[@lornamackenzie343]

Sheku won the Prestigious Young Musician of the Year competition a couple of years ago. I would love to live next door to them ! I would keep my windows open all day long.🎹🎻

PurelyAfrican That’s a shame but I’m sure it won’t hold her back. I think the parents are such good people, that is the key. Love is at the heart of that family; you can see that. Truly inspirational.

They also seem to play multiple instruments.

[@Wendy17719]

Jennifer Yearwood, I am black. But I don't know where you are getting the data from that says playing multiple instruments is a common factor in many black households. This family is unique, so please don't diminish their accomplishments by saying it's the norm.

[@pamelajudithrwanyarare8429]

@@Wendy17719 it is the norm to play multiple instruments in Africa. Its just not accessible to have western classical instruments because of cost.
