The Kanneh-Masons and Friends

Carnival of the Animals

Kanneh-Mason family

In celebration of family and traditions, all seven Kanneh-Mason siblings come together for a very special evening in aid of music education charity Music Masters.

Joined by leading musicians, the Kanneh-Masons share with you some of their favourite chamber works including Schubert’s much-loved “Trout” quintet and Isata Kanneh-Mason’s beautiful love song to Wales, Hiraeth. In the second half, the family reprises its 2021 BBC Proms performance of Camille Saint-Saëns’ whimsical much-loved suite, Carnival of the Animals, narrated by award-winning author Michael Morpurgo 

The Kanneh-Masons are seven brothers and sisters ranging in age from 15 to 28 years old, all of whom play either violin, piano or cello or a combination. Sheku Kanneh-Mason is the Patron of Music Masters and all proceeds from the performance will go to the charity, whose aim is to bring exceptional music education and opportunity into the lives of children across the UK.
