Penguin Books Ltd The Power Of Music : How Music Connects Us All

'Sheku believes that the future of classical music is bright, and in the hands of young musicians like him, it certainly is’ John SuchetMusic is what makes us alive, mindful and connected to each other.Music is what makes us human. This is the power of music. Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason knows and feels the transformative power of music as much as any musician alive.From winning the prestigious BBC Young Musician Award to performing at Harry and Meghan’s wedding; from Bach’s solo suites to Bob Marley’s reggae; his ferocious passion shines through in every single performance, whether in a packed-out concert hall or on record. But how was it that someone like him – a person of colour, from a state school in Nottingham – rose to the upper echelons of the classical music world?What were the obstacles that he had to overcome, what did he learn along the way, and how could a young person follow in his footsteps today?In The Power of Music, Sheku explores the experiences and values that led him here, from a childhood of football practice and family music sessions, to his work today in the world’s finest concert halls and in the less privileged communities that surround them.As his star continues to rise, he shows us the darker side of an industry ruled by exclusivity and stubborn adherence to tradition. With its power to transform our mental and physical health, to effect social change, and to make a house a home, Sheku shows us that classical music is for everyone, not just an elite few.The Power of Music is a celebration of music of all sorts and those who make it, and a rallying call to change. ‘A heartfelt plea for the importance of excellence in music performance and education, from one of the leading role models of our time' Sir Nicholas Kenyon, former director of the BBC Proms and Barbican Centre'Powerful and inspiring' Sir Stephen Hough
