- This very special evening will celebrate the launch of Kadie Kanneh-Mason’s new book House of Music - a moving and inspirational account of determination, music and love. It is a story about race, immigration and education. It is the story of a mother and her family. And it is the story of her children, seven phenomenally talented musicians.
Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason is a former lecturer at Birmingham University and the mother of seven children. Sheku Kanneh-Mason, her third eldest was the first black musician to win BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2016 and performed at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Three of his siblings are also former BBC Young Musician category finalists and the eldest, pianist Isata, has also presented for the Proms. Collectively, the Kanneh-Masons have performed at the 2018 BAFTA Ceremony and concert halls across the world, not to mention the hugely popular live performances from their family home in Nottingham during lockdown, as captured in the BBC’s recent Imagine documentary.
Josie D'Arby was born and raised in South Wales and has worked in television since the age of 14. As a teenager she attended the Anna Scher Theatre and she is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art . Before retiring from Acting in 2012 Josie enjoyed a long and varied career on stage and screen. As an RTS award winning broadcaster, Josie has presented for all the major UK networks on programmes related to music, art, entertainment and human interest, broadcasts ranging from Top of the Pops to BBC Radio Four documentaries. She is a regular presenter of BBC Arts programmes including BBC Young Musician ( with Clemency Burton Hill) , BBC Choir of the Year (with Gareth Malone ), BBC Cardiff Singer of the world (with Petroc Trelawny) and of course the BBC Proms.

All praise to the Kenneh-Mason parents for their parenting, The children are a great example of their hard work. Kadiatu has inspired me to finish my book. As a person of African descent I am proud of them as a family. They are a positive example to all families from African/Caribbean background. When the family are playing music by classical musicians of African descent (such as Schubert) it would be good if they could highlight the fact that the musicians is of African descent. By highlighting the race of the musicians it would raise people's awareness to the fact people of African descent have and do make music of different genre. Listening to the family's music raises my spirit especially during this lockdown period. In a society where racism exists I am glad that Kadiatu and Stuart have asserted their identity by giving their children African names this helps to reinforce their identity and ground them as individuals.
I saw the Kanneh-Mason family perfprm in Nottingham in June 2021. It was heavenly! 💖 I have nearly finished reading this book...such an inspirational, motivating book! Amazing family! They deserve all the success in the world!
I hope to read all their individual stories, from their own perspectives some day...😍
Thank you to the interviewer for such a wonderful interview
This is truly inspirational! Thank you Kenneh-Mason family for the joy you bring to the world
Kanneh-Mason..not Kenneh!
Such a great interview. I loved hearing the back story, and now I want to read the book!
A truly lovely, lovely family! I hope many watch this video, and learn from it.
I'm reading a few pages each day - loving it - and needing lots of tissues as I go! I resonate with so many of the stories, being the mum of a professional cellist myself - so hard with the first child! Mariatu will sail through with so much wisdom behind her! Thank you Kadie for your personal insights - we need to hear this!
Thank you Stuart and Kadiatu for all 7 of of these remarkable Gifts to humanity. Sheku brought the awareness to me.
loving the book it's so beautifully written I was so in to it I read from 330am -7am on Tues amazing...i don't want it end yet usually read 3 books together ...sad me...but love this book thank you kanneh mason...big RESPECT...
Love, love, love, the Kanneh-Masons!
This is wonderful. Such a lovely family - and a gifted one. I love the way that music is such a natural part of their lives. And talking of natural, I really like the youngest one playing the cello in her socks.
I am in love with this family!
Such a great model
Thank you so much 🥰🥰❤️❤️
What a fantastic interview with the Kanneh- Masons! So glad to hear the family's stories and cannot wait to read the book to get more.
Wonderful experience that others could learn from.
Great Britain.... you won’t be Great if you stop the funding of classical music in state schools. It’s just as important as Math, English, languages, etc etc. shame on you. Look at this family, don’t you want to have more musically talented families coming out of GB? I’m so proud of the Kanneh Masons- I hope Great Britain is too! 💕💙💙💕💕💕💕
Sweet!
Love this family. Such an inspiration. I’ve been looking more and more for Braimah as my daughter just started the violin and since my husband and I are not musical at all, I thought we could all watch together, people of colour, playing the violin. Konya as well! Can’t seem to find enough of them though :( I always feel Jeneba and Aminata look a bit... bored? Disengaged? Not sure. But just an uninformed observation.
Have you seen the documentary on the family? Aminata seems quite outgoing but Jeneba might be the quiet one but I think would be the next star of the family
Love Jeneba. My introduction to the family was watching her at age 9 or 10 playing Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu on TH-cam. Was blown away and just had to find out more which led to the rest of the Kanneh-Masons.
@@JuniorBLF She is talented. She started studying with Vanessa Latarche - noted piano pedagogue - recently. She’s also playing with the Chineke Orchestra this Monday 19th. It will be broadcast on Radio 3
I am not sure how she coped. As a single African/Ibo descent dad of three, it was very very difficult. Well done. I am impressed.
such a great, inspirational, black family
They are an inspirational to us all, why the the colour of their skin has to be mentioned, I dont understand?.
They must be the most talented family in the world.
Great musicians.
Love watching and listening to these guys.
@@petegriffiths5896 In this day and age we must be honest that racism still exist much of it is very subtle. This family are engaged in destroying the stereo type image that people of African descent have never produced classical music. Schubert is an example of a person of African descent who has produced music.
Love this. So prophetic. Introduced to Sheku...reminds of my grand. who's sixteen...Love those accents.
I love how Jose D’Arby included the whole family in this interview. Great job and great interview. Mrs. Kanneh-Mason and children, God Bless and keep you all going forward. #Respect ☺️✊🥰. I ordered the book today😊.
I recently read a book about Fred and Rose West and then read I Kadies book. Now looking back i realse I read about probably the most disgusting family in the UK then probably the best and most brilliant family I have ever read about.
Just started reading the book. Wished my copy was signed by the family.
Every single one of these human beings I pray will at some future time desire to teach and reach but most importantly INSTRUCT their fellow human beings
what a beautiful and amazing family
Riveting presence. Great presentation.🙂
Please, please don't go the way of the Jacksons (five)
I'm very happy to hear Kadie has written a book about her and her families life.
Splendid😎
