What an insanely awesome performance of the Haydn ... and insane tempo! Sheku, you are the bomb. I wish the whole performance was available on YouTube. There's a performance online of the Haydn from when Sheku was younger (and his backup orchestra was a little squeaky....). The entire Kanneh-Mason family, so inspiring.

Is there someway we can incorporate these musicians into a new season of Bridgerton?!

Black people have been part of Classical music since Bethoven

Wow. Ich kenne den deutschen Dirigenten aus Bielefeld. Bin so stolz auf dieses Orchester!

It is very rare to hear black people doing the classical magic.
Actually it is about interest not the colour of the skin on at all.
We must congratulate the audience for bearing with the classical sounds not the usual Pop or Hip Hop Crowds out there,

Not enough black musicians are shown playing classical. Most of the time it’s mostly always rnb or in the church.
