Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason was born in Nottingham in 1999 into a big musical family. He and his six siblings all grew up learning classical instruments, and appeared on Britain's Got Talent in 2015. Sheku first made his mark as a solo performer the following year when he won the BBC Young Musician Of The Year competition. In 2018 a global audience of over a billion watched him perform live at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Since then he has received two classical Brit awards, An MBE for services to music, and performed at the Proms every year since 2017. His book The Power Of Music charts his creative journey, whilst his new album - his fifth release - includes recording of works by Shostakovich and Britten. Sheku talks to John Wilson about the early influence of his paternal grandfather, a classical music lover who encouraged an appreciation of chamber music, including Schubert's Trout Quintet. Sheku also discusses his cellist heroes Jacqueline du Pré and Mstislav Rostropovich and explains how the music of reggae superstar Bob Marley has been an inspiration throughout his life.Producer: Edwina Pitman

Tänk på mig! Så säger pastor Britta Hermansson i Långfredagens andakt. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:Det är långfredag och Jesus lider korsdöden tillsammans med en förbrytare på varsin sida.Tänk på mig när du kommer med ditt rike stönar en av dem fram mitt i smärtan. Det borde bli den sämsta responsen av alla. I dödsögonblicket, torterad och på väg ge upp andan. Vem skulle då komma på att tänka på något annat än sitt eget lidande? Men här är det så annorlunda. Mitt i världens smärta som Jesus bär upp på korset så sträcker hans omsorg sig också till den som är allra närmast honom. Den som lider det brutala straffet för sitt eget handlande. En vidrig tortyr.Jesus, tänk på mig när du kommer med ditt rike… Allt är snart över och den fysiska smärtan på väg ta slut. Tänk på mig. Jesus gör mer än lovar att komma ihåg förbrytaren i dödskampen. Han svarar: Idag ska du vara med mig i paradiset.Det som ser ut att vara det största nederlaget bär hoppet om ett annat rike.Text:Psaltaren 22 ur Bibeln: The Message av Eugene Peterson i svensk översättning och bearbetning av Felix Larsson och Maria StoreMusik:Elegi för violoncell & piano Op 24 c-moll av Gabriel Fauré med Sheku Kanneh-Mason i en version för violoncell & celloensemble av Simon ParkinProducent: Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

Idag på Skärtorsdagen möter vi Britta Hermansson, pastor i Equmeniakyrkan, som talar om den skälvande närvaron av Jesus. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:En liten glittrande fisk slog med stjärten i min mage. Så beskrev en kvinna sitt möte med Jesus när hon böjde knä vid en altarrund och tog emot en tunn, skör liten oblat som hon doppade i bägaren med vin och lade på tungan medan hon hörde orden: Kristi kropp för dig utgiven. Kristi blod för dig utgjutet. Svåra och mystiska ord, men så hände det. Sakta smälte oblaten och ville fastna ett ögonblick i gommen, smaken av vinet klingade av, men något var annorlunda.En beröring som blev så avgörande för resten av vandringen genom livet. Någonting vibrerar, darrar till i mellangärdet. Det är en beröring i ögonblicket och en visshet att återvända till när livet gör ont eller det mörknar i världen.Text:Psaltaren 119 och Kor 1 ur Bibeln: The Message av Eugene Peterson i svensk översättning och bearbetning av Felix Larsson och Maria StoreMusik:Elegi för violoncell & piano Op 24 c-moll av Gabriel Fauré med Sheku Kanneh-Mason i en version för violoncell & celloensemble av Simon ParkinProducent: Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

Vi är mitt inne i Stilla veckan och idag möter vi Britta Hermansson, pastor i Equmeniakyrkan, som tar sin utgångspunkt i Jesu bönbok. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:Jag längtar alltid efter ett språk som är begripligt. Särskilt för en så stor kristen högtid som påsken. Det är en allvarstyngd vecka och inte minst lever vi med en stor oro i världen. När oron slår till eller kryper inpå i ens eget liv, så är det svårt att tänka på annat. Jag läser ur Psaltaren, den bok Jesus ofta återvände till som sin bönbok. I Jesus egen bönebok finns ett språk som hjälper mig i Stilla veckans dramatik. Språket överraskar lite i den här översättningen av Eugene Peterson. Gud, nu är det dags! Svara, Gud, med kärlek! Svara och lova mig frälsning! Rädda mig ur träsket; låt mig inte gå under för gott…Vad finns nu i ditt liv som oroar? Kanske en utflugen mening som du nu tror eller vet har sårat någon. En behandling som kanske inte botar, en konflikt i din närhet, relationer som inte hittar fram eller världens hårda ordväxlingar och ett klimat som inte går att känna igen.Nu finns tid att följa Jesus och att be om hjälp med det som behöver få ett språk. Vad är det i ditt eget liv och i vår värld som du just nu vill ta med in i påskens stora drama?Text:Psaltaren 69 ur Bibeln: The Message av Eugene Peterson i svensk översättning och bearbetning av Felix Larsson och Maria StoreMusik:Elegi för violoncell & piano Op 24 c-moll av Gabriel Fauré med Sheku Kanneh-Mason i en version för violoncell & celloensemble av Simon ParkinProducent: Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

New Classical Tracks - Plinio Fernandes (radio edit) by Plinio Fernandes - Bacheando (Decca)“For me, playing the guitar gives me a sense of identity, because it's something that I have been doing since I was very, very young,” guitarist Plinio Fernandes says. “I don't really remember my life that well before I was 6 or 7, which is when I started to play. Like brushing my teeth, drinking water, showering and breathing, I just have to play a couple of notes and feel like that grounds me.”Fernandes is a Brazilian guitarist who grew up surrounded by music. As his father's guitar rested on the sofa, Fernandes would pluck a few strings. Before he knew it, he was headed to London to study at the Royal Academy of Music. That's where he met his roommate, friend and musical colleague, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason. Fernandes and Kanneh-Mason recently completed a tour in support of Fernandes' second recording, Bacheando.Fernandes says the album's name is just a made-up word inspired by the title of Heitor Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras and as an homage to the great German master Johannes Sebastian Bach.How does the music of Bach and the rich culture of Brazil come together on this recording?“Villa-Lobos, our greatest composer of all time, who really reshaped Brazilian culture, was massively influenced by Bach. His contemporaries were massively influenced by that connection between Villa-Lobos and Baroque music. In addition to taking the pieces that already existed, Sergio Assad was one of the arrangers and composer on the album. He wrote a piece inspired by that concept to pair with the Prelude, Fugue and Vivace.”One of your favorite pieces by Bach, the Prelude, Fugue and Allegro, is at the heart of this recording. Why is this one of your favorite pieces?“Very simply, it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. And I grew up listening to it. The three movements represent to me what perfection is.”How did the piece that Assad created for you come about?“I came to him and we were discussing the repertoire for the album and said, ‘Sergio, I would love to have you writing something specifically for that.' And then he was very keen on doing something that he first wrote, the Prelude and Fugues. It's the first fugue that he has ever written, which is quite something and a privilege to have that. And then it just kept on growing until it became this little suite of three movements.”Can you talk about what it means when you're describing colors in playing the guitar? “I was basically trying to use everything that the instrument has to offer. I think it is a very specific thing to the guitar. One can talk about the colors that you create with the piano, but with the guitar … you use both of your fingertips to produce the sound, so it's a very personal thing. Depending on the size of your fingers or the length of the nails, each person will have a very particular and unique sound.” Listen on YouTubeTo hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.ResourcesPlinio Fernandes - Bacheando (Amazon)Plinio Fernandes - Bacheando (Decca)Plinio Fernandes (official site)

- To były bardzo dobre koncerty. Mnie się poszczęściło i udało mi się na kilka dotrzeć. Dobre były zarówno programy koncertowe, jak i poziom wykonawczy. Do tego dochodzi atmosfera. Ludzie uczestniczą w BBC Proms z miłości do muzyki i to po prostu czuć. Myślę, że to właśnie sprawia, że nastrój tych koncertów jest niepowtarzalny - mówił w Dwójce wiolonczelista Sheku Kanneh-Mason, który w sobotę (9.09) wystąpił w koncercie Last Night Of The Proms 2023 (Ostatnia Noc Promsów).

How do you manage your blood sugars when you've got TWO BILLION pairs of eyes on you?Well, if you're as focused as world-renowned cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, it's just another day. The particular day I'm referring to is playing at the Royal Wedding of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex Harry and Meghan in 2018. As you do.Sheku is of the most celebrated and in demand cellists in the world, achieving astronomical success at the age of just 23. But in speaking to him it's clear that his motivation is purely in the act of playing and sharing his great love of music. That being said, garnering two classical BRIT awards, a GQ cover, collaborations with some of the world's most celebrated musicians and an MBE to his name while managing type 1 diabetes since the age of 12 more than deserves to be acknowledged.In this episode we discuss Sheku's life of travelling and playing, his concert rituals, how the support of his family has helped him deal with his condition, why being open about his type 1 diabetes is important - and how he strategically used to prick his fingers to avoid desensitising his playing hand before moving onto a CGM. ‘Type 1 diabetes has become less of a standout issue in my life,' he says. Here's to that.

Sheku Kanneh-Mason — Song (Decca) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - The Knights by “Song really speaks to the vocal quality I find in all the pieces of music that I selected for my instrument,” cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason said about expressing his artistic freedom on his latest solo recording, Song. ”The cello has such a wonderful ability to sing in all of these different styles and combinations of instruments in arranging while improvising. The cool singing quality of the cello is something I enjoy exploring. I enjoyed making this album and it is very personal for me.” Can you talk about the opening arrangement on the album? “There's something very direct about these folk melodies. I made this arrangement just for solo cello with no harmony because I wanted to just appreciate the bare bones of the melody. I just wanted to play like that. “There's so much music on this recording, which uses the cello in different ways. I wanted to start with something very pure and the sound of a solo cello line. The voice of the cello develops throughout the disc and ends with a piece of pizzicato solo cello.” What was the title of the work you arranged for your grandmother? “The title is Myfanwy and I love the expressiveness of the falling intervals.” Are you playing this trio all by yourself? “Yes. I recorded three voices of just me. It's actually harder than I thought it would be to play with myself. Normally when I'm playing with other people, I'm in the room and I can physically feel what they are doing. But when it's coming through a headphone you're playing in a slightly different experience. It was a cool way to do it.” Can you talk about the Bach work arranged for four cellos?  “On that one, I was less lonely. I convinced four friends to play with me. I had my current teacher, one of my previous teachers and a couple of friends who have mentored me to join me on the album.” Can you talk about the world premiere of Edmund Finnis' Five Preludes? “I love the first prelude. There's a conversational and intimate feeling about it. The music speaks to me. I feel that I'm able to speak with it because it's music that doesn't shout out to grab your attention. Rather, it draws you into this intimate conversation. This intimacy is something that I enjoy exploring and performing.” Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

S britským violoncellistou Sheku Kanneh-Masonem o trémě před dvěma miliardami diváků při svatbě Harryho s Meghan i o změně, které by se už klasičtí hudebníci neměli vyhýbat. Elgarovým koncertem se měl na sklonku ledna pražským posluchačům poprvé představit dvaadvacetiletý britský violoncellista Sheku Kanneh-Mason, držitel prestižního ocenění BBC Young Musician. Jeho plánované vystoupení s Českou filharmonií však zhatila covidová epidemie, která zasáhla orchestr. Podcast Na dotek tedy s vyhledávaným cellistou nabízí alespoň rozhovor pořízený krátce poté, co přiletěl do Prahy. Jeho odpovědi pomáhají pochopit, jak výraznou proměnou prochází vnímání vážné hudby v multikulturní britské společnosti dnešních dnů.

"Muse" is the name of the debut recording by cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, and his sister, pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason. The siblings have recorded together before, in the 2020 release, "Carnival of the Animals", and have performed live many times. "Muse" includes two major 20th century cello sonatas, by Samuel Barber (1932); and Sergei Rachmaninov (1901), as well as shorter pieces by both composers. Sheku and Isata share the joys of performing as siblings (there is no rivalry, both say), and the challenges that have become all too familiar in these times. Hear the rest of the story in their conversation with All Classical Portland's Program Director John Pitman.

Arrancamos esta semana con diversos artistas, como The Band y Martin Scorsese, además de mencionar a Enrique Bunbury. Luego os contamos dos noticias de diferente índole: por un lado, la trágica muerte de un coreógrafo del Royal Ballet de Londres como consecuencia del descubrimiento de un comportamiento poco apropiado con sus colegas de profesión; y el meteórico ascenso a la fama del cellista Sheku Kanneh-Mason, que debuta con la Filarmónica de Nueva York mientras juega un partido de fútbol con David. Por último, nos despedimos de Un Día de Noviembre, obra que nos acompaña una última vez en el repaso semanal de los trabajos orquestales.

Sheku and Isata Kanneh-Mason — MUSE (Decca) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - Sheku and Isata Kanneh-Mason by British pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason and her younger brother, Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, have very different personalities. Perhaps, that is why they get along so well. They both have flourishing solo careers and have performed together for years, carefully developing an incredible sense of timing and trust essential for any musical duo. Their first album as a duo, Muse, features two cello sonatas, one by Samuel Barber and the other by Sergei Rachmaninoff. “We've always wanted to record together,” said Isata about working with her brother. “We've recorded pieces that we really love, especially the Rachmaninoff, which is a piece we've known since we were very small. It's really exciting to have this album and we spent a lot of time exploring and enjoying the pieces together.” How did you discover Barber's Cello Sonata? Sheku: “It's not well known at all and we discovered it recently. It was my teacher who introduced us to the piece. We both listened to it, loved it and were struck by how immediate it grips you.” Is there a section in this sonata that you each love to play? Isata: “There's many movements in both of the sonatas. I particularly enjoy playing the second movement of the Rachmaninoff and in that movement, the second subject theme. I think it is really beautiful. I just love all the textures in that movement between the instruments.” Sheku: “It's music that works so well as a whole. They're all part of an overall shape.” Isata: “Yes, one section wouldn't be as good because of the section before.” What is it about Rachmaninoff's Cello Sonata that makes it one of your favorite pieces? Sheku: “It's incredibly beautiful and poetic music. It's a wonderful piece of chamber music in the way the instruments and voices interact. It's just amazingly well crafted. It's one of the most enjoyable pieces to perform and listen to. It's filled with some incredibly great melodies. I know that it gives the cello a chance to really sing.” Can you point out your favorite melody? Sheku: “My favorite? I would say one of my favorite melodies is the second subject of the first movement. It's played first by the piano and then the cello. It's wonderful. Rachmaninoff's use of falling close intervals, rising large intervals and the painfulness of falling semitones is really powerful. Then you have these hopeful rising intervals later on in the phrase. It's such a wonderful relief. I think that's one of the most beautiful melodies and phrases.” Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

We all remember the royal wedding of Prince Harry to the American actress, Meghan Markle, in 2018. I remember getting up early to watch it streamed live as I know many Americans did. Serendipitously, a classical cellist performed in the ceremony that day to a global audience of 2 billion people, in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. That cellist, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, has since charted a meteoric rise to prominence. This month, he makes his New York Philharmonic debut. He's also just released an album with his sister, the brilliant pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason. Both Sheku and Isata join me on the Classical Post podcast today to discuss this new album called Muse, released on the Decca Classics label, featuring gorgeous works by Rachmaninoff and Barber. Listen to this discussion about how these siblings create art together. But also, hear a brief snapshot into Sheku's New York Philharmonic debut and what it was like for him performing at the royal wedding. -- Classical Post explores the intersection of classical music, style, and wellness, diving into meaningful conversations with leading artists from an array of different backgrounds.

Like sopranos, the violins get all the attention. The violas, famously, get ignored. But of all the orchestral string instruments, the real star is the cello. In its low range, it anchors the string section; as a solo instrument, it soars with a beautifully lyrical singing voice; while in the studio, its four octave range is a compact string orchestra in one instrument. So for range, tone, versatility, and expression, the cello is unsurpassed — and it sounds especially right in the fall. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE from longtime guest producer for classical and sacred music ELLEN HOLMES, we follow the cello to the emotional heart of autumn, on a program called CELLO ELEGIES. Music performed by 2CELLOS, STJEPAN HAUSER, MICHAEL HOPPÉ & MARTIN TILLMAN, JULIAN LLOYD WEBBER, YO-YO MA, JACQUELINE DU PRE, SHEKU KANNEH-MASON, MATHEW BARLEY, BARRY PHILLIPS, FRETWORK, and JORDI SAVALL & HESPERION XXI.

SUMMARY Mother of presumably the most musical family in the world, Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason, in her breakout memoir “HOUSE OF MUSIC,” opens up about what it takes to create a musical family in a Britain divided by class and race. Kadiatu describes the difficulties of navigating the professional world of classical music while raising seven extremely gifted Black musicians in a normal home in Nottingham, England. Rising above a family history pocked by prejudice and riddled with racism, she and her husband Stuart pour their love and support into their children through unwavering emotional, financial, and intellectual commitment. Although lacking the privilege and polish of elite music schools, all seven children have developed exceptional skills and brilliant stage presence, catapulting them into the toughest musical competitions, extraordinary opportunities, and undisputed world fame. 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. KEY MOMENTS “I saw from my [unwed] sister and my mother that motherhood was a state of determination and constancy, and that love of one's children was the single urgent mission of life.” “The children relied on the rules and regularity we constructed, using them as a boundary within which their imaginations were free.” “When over two billion people already agog at an English prince marrying an African-American, tuned into the wedding and saw this teenage Black cellist framed between the flowering arches and playing with all the love and passion he knew, it was clear the world was going to change.” [When the oldest six children played on "Britain's Got Talent"], “they were determined to bring the message that the power and depth of classical music can be accessed by everyone.” QUOTES FROM KANNEH-MASON “Playing music was an organic part of family life, rooted in the routine of the wildness of every day." “Children who are gifted are often gifted with more than one direction, and these gifts have to be discovered and chosen. We were keenly aware of how responsible we were for giving our children access to who they needed to be.” “Music encompasses a vast emotional and intellectual world, and spending time to know it and to be its instrument is a great privilege. But the cost is high.” “The family home has evolved almost organically into a house of music. Our conversations are about music: listening, playing, concerts, practice. Most of the jokes and teasing insults are musical, and no day can be planned or imagined without first working out the logistics of each music commitment.” “To become a classical musician is similar to training as an athlete. It demands intense physical discipline, being alert to injury and being mentally strong.” “It has taken generations of love and sacrifice to create the conditions and the confidence for our children to be classical performers.” BUY House of Music RECOMMENDATION Watch and listen to Sheku Kanneh-Mason play “Shostakovich Cello Concerto No. 1” as he wins his title as 2016 BBC Young Musician.

Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason appears at the BBC Proms this summer playing Dvorak's Cello Concerto. In the run up to that performance he's appeared with the London Mozart Players performing the same work. And he's worked with cellists half his age in Croydon sharing a bit of the Sheku sparkle. In this podcast hear from Sheku and musicians and teachers from Croydon Music and Arts about the impact the 22-year Black cellist really has. Be sure to have a handkerchief to hand. 

The ‘Cello Concerto' by Elgar is the most famous piece for solo cello accompanied by an orchestra. The beautiful, rich sound of the cello is captivating. But, we also sense loneliness: the cellist seems to be searching for something. In this episode I share insights into the piece and I answer the questions ‘What is a Concerto?' and ‘What is Texture?'. This episode features the first movement from the ‘Cello Concerto' by the composer Edward Elgar. I recommend the recording by the London Symphony Orchestra, featuring the cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, conducted by Sir Simon Rattle.

Oscar winning actress Regina King tells Kirsty about her debut film as a director, One Night in Miami, inspired by the real-life meeting between Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Sam Cooke and Jim Brown on the night that Ali (then still called Cassius Clay) defeated Sonny Liston to win the heavyweight World Champion title. Europe's first classical music station especially for children was launched yesterday. Fun Kids Classical will play music by composers including Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saens and Grieg; with performances from young artists such as cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, saxophonist Jess Gillam and violinist Jennifer Pike. The pianist Lang Lang, whose International Music Foundation encourages children to engage with music, is the new station's Ambassador. Matt Deegan, Fun Kids Classical's station, manager talks to Kirsty Lang about the need for such a radio station, and his ambitions for it. This year sees the 100th anniversary of the creation of Northern Ireland. Although the region is synonymous with the poetry of Seamus Heaney or the plays of Brian Friel, its recent literary reputation has tended to languor in the shadow of its southern neighbour. But today, as issues connected to Brexit and the status of the border with the EU have Northern Ireland back in the news, there is also cohort of younger writers from the region demanding attention. Kirsty talks to novelist Jan Carson, who has a new series of short stories, The Last Resort, serialised on Radio 4 alongside memoirist Darran Anderson, whose new book Inventory, is published next month, about what makes the region such a rich setting for fiction and nonfiction now. Presenter: Kirsty Lang Producer: Oliver Jones Studio Manager: Nigel Dix

Gerade mal 21 Jahre alt ist der Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason und gilt schon als der berühmteste klassische Musiker Englands, spätestens seit seinem Auftritt bei der Hochzeit von Prinz Harry und Meghan Markle. Sein emotionales Spiel berührt, seine Persönlichkeit überzeugt. Und er hat eine Mission: er kämpft gegen Rassismus und will schwarze Kinder zur klassischen Musik bringen.

Anyone who saw Sheku Kanneh-Mason play the cello at the Royal Wedding, or win BBC Young Musician of the Year at the age of only 17, will realise that he comes from the most extraordinary family. Two of his siblings are also Young Musician finalists, and his older sister, Isata, is a professional pianist. Collectively the seven Kanneh-Mason children make music wherever they are. During lockdown, that was the family home in Nottingham, from which they performed live on Facebook. Michael Berkeley’s guest is their mother, Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason: the woman who inspires them, who gets up before dawn to drive them to lessons and trains, who organises their practice schedules, who dances with them in the kitchen. She tells Michael Berkeley about how she does it – and why. She looks back on her childhood in Sierra Leone, and the huge transition of coming to live with her grandparents in Wales after her father died. She reveals her own musical ambition – to play the violin – and discusses how she manages to get the children to practise. She explores with Michael the question of prejudice in the classical music world. And she plays the reggae song the family will be dancing to at Christmas. Other choices include Verdi’s “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves”, Shostakovich’s Second Piano Trio, Mozart’s Requiem, Schubert’s Trout Quintet and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s “Deep River”.

At 17, he won the BBC's Young Musician Competition. Then he performed at the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. He's also appeared on 'Britain's Got Talent' with his six musical siblings.

„Ich bin mir sicher, dass Musik erstaunliche Dinge mit dem Gehirn anstellt. Aber am tollsten ist: der Spaß.“ Durch seinen Solo-Auftritt bei der Royal Wedding von Prinz Harry und Meghan Markle wurde der junge britische Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason im Mai 2018 weltbekannt. Und in Nottingham fährt nun ein Linien-Bus mit seinem Namen durch die Stadt. Kurz vor seinem Elbphilharmonie-Debüt mit Elgars Cellokonzert und dem City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra erzählte Sheku Kanneh-Mason bei einem Gespräch in der Künstlergarderobe, wie sich sein Leben verändert hat.​

Whether I'm rocking out to a mash-up of pop tunes played by piano/cello duo The Piano Guys or listening in awe of Sheku Kanneh-Mason's emotional performance of Elgar's cello concerto, I truly love listening to the cello play just about anything. In today's episode, we'll learn a bit about the anatomy of the cello, what it means to play a solo, and listen to two very famous pieces of cello music. Be sure to also download this episode's listening calendar for a chance to hear cello tunes from all sorts of different genres.

Why is classical music still so male and pale, and what can be done about it? Kim Chakanetsa talks to two leading female musicians who are working to challenge the status quo and open up orchestras to more women and people of colour. Of Nigerian-Irish parentage, Chi-chi Nwanoku realised that 30 years into an illustrious career as a double-bassist she was still one of vanishingly few non-white faces on the classical music stage. So in 2015 she started Chineke!, Europe's first majority-black and minority ethnic orchestra. Her project is already bearing fruit, with one of her members Sheku Kanneh-Mason, playing solo at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Mei-Ann Chen is a conductor from Taiwan, and Musical Director at the Chicago Sinfonietta - a professional orchestra founded in the 1980s to showcase the talent of African American and Latino musicians. As well as insisting on diversity in her orchestra and the music they play, Mei-Ann is passionate about opening up the overwhelmingly male-dominated world of conducting to more women, and says she would never have succeeded without a female mentor. You heard extracts from: Dances in the Canebrakes by Florence Price, performed by the Chicago Sinfonietta conducted by Mei-Ann Chen, which will be included on a new CD released in March 2019 on Cedille Records. The second movement of Dvorak's Ninth Symphony in E Minor "From the New World" performed by the Chineke! Orchestra, conducted by Kevin John Edusei. Available on Hyperion Records.

Hon var internationell toppmusiker i 35 år. Fick nog av svarta musikers osynlighet inom klassisk musik och bildade proffsiga CHINEKE!, en aldrig tidigare skådad symfoniorkester.   Tillfälligheternas spel är en programserie i fem avsnitt. I andra programmet möter vi kontrabasisten och orkesterledaren Chi-chi Nwanoku, som under många år spelade  i Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Från början var det meningen att Chi-chi Nwanoku skulle bli brittisk olympiasprinter. Men tillfälligheternas spel giorde att hon skadade knät så illa under en fotbollsmatch att karriären som sprinter var slut. Chi-chi Nwanoku hade spelat piano hela livet och vunnit en Chopin-tävling i skolan. Efter en tvåveckors sjukhusvistelse med operation av knät insisterade hennes musiklärare på att hon istället skulle ta upp ett instrument för att kunna spela i skolans symfoniorkester. Han ledde henne till ett litet rum där det stod två kontrabasar, mycket längre än Chi-chi som endast är 165 lång. -Denna utmaning älskade jag och blev kär i instrumentet omedelbart! Veckan efter hade jag min första kontrabaslektion. Det var början på resten av mitt liv. Jag bytte från benen till armarna, säger Chi-chi Nwanoku. 2015 grundade hon den professionella symfoniorkestern CHINEKE! som består av 75 musiker. CHINEKE! är Europas första professionella symfoniorkester för svarta musiker och musiker ur andra etniska minoriteter. -Vi lever i det tjugoförsta århundradet. Det borde inte vara en nyhet att det skulle finnas fler än ett svart ansikte i en orkester som spelar klassisk musik på hög nivå. Så jag bestämde mig för att göra något åt detta säger Chi-chi Nwanoku i programmet. Den 30 augusti 2017 gjorde symfoniorkestern CHINEKE! sin BBC Proms-debut i Royal Albert Hall i London. Om projektet CHINEKE! har Chi-Chi Nwanoku sagt: "Mitt syfte är att skapa ett rum där musiker ur minoritetsgrupper kan gå på scenen och känna att de räknas och hör till i ordens alla bemärkelser. Varenda musiker som känner att hudfärgen står i vägen för deras ambitioner skall känna att jag vill inspirera dem, ge dem en plattform och visa dem att musik, av vilken sort det vara månde, är till för alla människor." I CHINEKE! Foundation ingår även en ungdomsorkester för musiker mellan 11 och 18 år. De äldre musikerna fungerar som mentorer, lärare och förebilder för de unga musikerna. - Chi-chi är en fantastisk naturkraft! Denna dam har inspirerat oss alla och gett oss hopp för framtiden: Vi kan göra skillnad. Hon har fört oss samman och vi har kommit ut ur vår isolering i orkestrar och ensembler i olika länder och skapat ett enormt nätverk. Vi är henne för evigt tacksamma över detta. Det säger altviolinisten Lena Fankhauser som har Wien som sin bas. Hon, liksom alla andra musiker i CHINEKE! spelar även i flera andra ensembler. -En lördag zappade jag på tv'n och hittade en konsert med Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Jag upptäckte den svarta kontrabasisten och slogs av hur intensiv och kraftfull hennes prestation var och tänkte Herregud så fenomenal hon är! Det var min första kontakt med Chi-chi Nwanoku, berättar timpanisten Paul Philbert. I programmet spelas musik av bl a spännande svarta tonsättare som George Walker, Hannah Kendall, Joseph Bologne Chevalier de Saint-Georges, Samuel Coleridge Taylor och Errolyn Wallen.   Musiklista: Lyrics for Strings George Walker, Chineke!
