British shooting star Sheku Kanneh-Mason, the promising offspring of arguably London's most exciting musical family, returns with Saint-Saëns' elegant cello concerto. His unprecedented career took off when he first emerged as the surprise winner of the television show Britain's Got Talent and then moved an audience of millions to tears at the last big royal wedding. Not exactly the usual path for a young graduate of the Royal Academy of Music ... The likeable musician and soccer fan has remained down-to-earth and approachable, enjoying playing with his six siblings just as much as with the world's best orchestras - such as the London Philharmonic Orchestra, which enriches the romantic concert evening with Rachmaninov's Third Symphony.
