Cellist from Royal Wedding, Sheku Kanneh-Mason Debuts with New York Philharmonic and Releases New Album, 'Muse'

<p>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 <a href="https://youtu.be/TeDB27cq3fE">performed in the ceremony</a> that day to a global audience of 2 billion people, in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.</p> <p>That cellist, <a href="https://www.shekukannehmason.com/">Sheku Kanneh-Mason</a>, 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 <a href="https://www.isatakannehmason.com/">Isata Kanneh-Mason</a>.</p> <p>Both Sheku and Isata join me on the <em>Classical Post </em>podcast today to discuss this new album called <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/0n1et7GVue0KMLx5NFAgwq?si=2LV99U-ZSNmHrYUJ71Agbg"><em>Muse</em></a><em>, </em>released on the Decca Classics label, featuring gorgeous works by Rachmaninoff and Barber.</p> <p>Listen to this discussion about how these siblings create art together.
