"In Elgar's music, there's this sense that time is moving at a [slower] pace that takes you away from the pace of life we have now...there's time to appreciate the subtle, beautiful things in his music." 

Sheku Kanneh-Mason gives you his thoughts on Elgar's Cello Concerto, which you can hear this week with your Cleveland Orchestra!

Sheku Kanneh-Mason on Elgar's Cello Concerto

COLERIDGE-TAYLOR  Ballade in A minor
ELGAR  Cello Concerto in E minor
DVOŘÁK  Symphony No. 6 in D major
One of the most gifted young artists onstage today, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason catapulted to international fame with his performance at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. He makes his Cleveland Orchestra debut with Elgar’s rhapsodic Cello Concerto, a meditative, poignant work created in the emotional wake of World War I. Opening the concert is a poignant and emotion-filled work by British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, while the program ends with Dvořák’s effervescent Sixth Symphony, teeming with lyrical invention and foot-tapping rhythms.
