An update about our concert with Braimah, Isata and Sheku Kanneh-Mason

As a result of Sheku Kanneh-Mason’s recent finger injury, there is a change to the programme for our concert at Nottingham Royal Concert Hall on Saturday 10 January 2026.

Sheku and his siblings Isata (piano) and Braimah (violin) were due to be performing Beethoven’s Triple Concerto. However, Sheku has been advised to refrain from playing his cello to allow it to heal and consequently has withdrawn from all engagements for the remainder of 2025. He will make a gentle return to playing in the new year as part of the rehabilitation process, but this means that there is insufficient time to rehearse the Beethoven work adequately with his siblings.

Whilst he is very disappointed not to be able to perform as planned, we are pleased to confirm that Isata and Braimah will be performing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 and Romance for Violin No. 2 respectively.  Sheku will join his siblings on stage during the evening of the concert to introduce these pieces and he looks forward to returning to the concert platform for his European engagements in spring 2026.

We are delighted to be supported by the Kanneh-Mason family as Our Patrons.
