Meet the Kanneh-Masons, seven siblings who are all classical music geniuses

In 2018 when young and talented cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason won everyone over with his stunning performance at the royal wedding ceremony of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, it turned out that he was not the only talented classical music genius in his family.

Sheku, who was the first Black winner of the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition in 2016, has six other classically-trained siblings, all of whom play either the piano, violin or cello to a remarkably high standard. Isata, the eldest and 24, plays the piano; Braimah, 22, plays the violin while 19-year-old Konya and Aminata, 14, play both piano and violin. Jeneba, 17, and 10-year-old Mariatu, who is the youngest, play both cello and piano.
