*Los Angeles welcomed Isata and Sheku Kanneh-Mason to the Walt Disney Concert Hall, which is under the artistic direction of the LA Phil’s Gustavo Dudamel.

The sister and brother duo are a classical delight and are virtuosos on their designated instruments.

For Isata, it is the piano. For Sheku, it is the cello. The two highly gifted musicians are two of a family of seven prolific instrumentalists.

All have left music fans in awe since their first viral video hit the internet in 2015.  In a tiny corridor in Nottingham, England, the Kanneh-Masons tackled Monti’s ‘Czardas’ in a manner on par with any veteran philharmonic orchestra. They ranged in age from seven to nineteen at the time.  It was awe-inspiring!
