This is a crisis that preceded Covid and is now made even worse. If we donโt save music in state schools we risk the education and well-being of many children and the diversity and vitality of our music industry.

Six hours in A&E Nottingham for Mariatu two weeks ago after falling on her arm at school sports and sustaining a buckle fracture of the wrist. Thank you to overworked and exhausted NHS staff who looked after her until 4am. No cello for four more weeks!!
Our much beloved Grandad, Arnold Mason, has passed away today in Antigua at the age of 95. One of seven siblings and an enduring inspiration to us. We miss and love him always.

Tonightโs Kanneh-Mason Family Takeover

9pm - itโs the turn of Konya and Jeneba, presenting the music that inspired their childhood and growing up together ๐น
The brilliant Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason stopped by to sign copies of her upcoming book House of Music: Raising the Kanneh-Masons ๐ถ
@thekannehmasons
Keep your eyes peeled for info coming soon on how to get your hands on a signed copy!
Looking forward to the future when our wonderful musicians all over the world are performing live concerts again. Meanwhile, still practising, connecting and getting ready to see you all again in person!
Why have airlines not worked out how to board cellos? For musicians, music is not just a casual hobby and missing flights can be disastrous. What is happening?
