Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason’s mission is to make music accessible to all, whether that’s performing for children in a school hall, at an underground club, or in the world’s leading concert venues.

Sheku was last at the Festival in 2018 when he performed in St Nicolas Church just one week before he played at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, a performance watched by over two billion people worldwide.

For tonight’s concert Sheku joins the Castalian Quartet for an evening to include works for Solo Cello, String Quartet and String Quintet.

The Castalian String Quartet are no strangers to the Festival, and continue to take the international chamber music scene by storm. Gaining renown for interpretations 'full of poetry, joy and sorrow, realised to such perfection' (The Observer).
