Siblings Isata and Sheku Kanneh-Mason, two of the most prominent classical artists of their generation, have earned global acclaim for their remarkable musical rapport. Sheku’s 2016 win of the BBC Young Musician competition propelled him to international prominence, while Isata is celebrated for her acclaimed albums and advocacy for women composers. As a duo, they are known for their exceptional synergy and musical chemistry. “How they played with such ease and accuracy … call it sibling harmony,” The Guardian wrote. Their program blends Romantic-era tradition with 20th-century innovation, featuring music by Felix Mendelssohn, Nadia Boulanger, Robert Schumann and Rebecca Clarke.
