Sheku Kanneh-Mason

Philadelphia Chamber Music Society

Following a sold-out 2019 PCMS debut with his sister and recital partner Isata, British cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason returns to the Perelman Theater for a program that includes the Philadelphia premieres of solo cello works by Cuban composer Leo Brouwer and Welsh pianist Gwilym Simcock. Kanneh-Mason’s “light baritone tone quality often blossoms coloristically within the bounds of a single note. In fact, it’s hard to really talk about individual notes in his playing because so much of what he does comes off in lyrically rendered sound shapes” (Philadelphia Inquirer).
