Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason

Sheku Kanneh-Mason Plays Elgar

Fri, Jan 20–Sat, Jan 21, 2023 Roy Thomson Hall

Award-winning British cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason became a household name after his performance at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018, and there’s no better spotlight for his incredible talents than Elgar’s poignant concerto, one of the most well-known and beloved in the repertoire. It doesn’t get any more beautiful than Ralph Vaughan Williams’s stunning Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. And, be first in the world to hear TSO Composer-Advisor Gary Kulesha’s new symphony, led by Conductor Emeritus Peter Oundjian.
