A home filled with music — raising the Kanneh-Masons
Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason is a former English academic and the mother of seven extraordinary children.
All of them are gifted classical musicians.
Her eldest daughter, Isata wrote and performed her first piano concerto at the age of eleven.
Her son Sheku mastered the cello and performed at the royal wedding of Harry and Megan Markle.
Every day the seven Kanneh-Masons, who range from early teens to the mid-twenties, fill the family home with glorious, sometimes chaotic, music.
