Carnival of the Animals with the Kanneh-Masons & Friends

In celebration of family and traditions, all seven Kanneh-Mason siblings come together for a very special evening of music, in aid of Music Masters.

Joined by leading musicians, the Kanneh-Masons share with you some of their favourite chamber works including Schubert’s much-loved “Trout” quintet and Isata Kanneh-Mason’s beautiful love song to Wales, Hiraeth. In the second half, the family reprises its 2021 BBC Proms performance of Camille Saint-Saëns’ whimsical much-loved suite, Carnival of the Animals, narrated by award-winning author Michael Morpurgo.

The Kanneh-Masons are seven brothers and sisters ranging in age from 15 to 28 years old, all of whom play either violin, piano or cello or a combination. All proceeds from the performance will go towards the Music Masters goal of bring exceptional music education and opportunity into the lives of children across the UK.

There will also be a pre-concert talk with Sheku and the Kanneh-Mason family from 6-6.30pm in the Barbican Hall.
