We are thrilled to be opening the Autumn series with star cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason and virtuoso classical guitarist Plínio Fernandes. Sheku?s career and performances span the globe with a mission to make music accessible to all. Highlights of his 23/24 season include the Last Night of the Proms and extensive recital tours and performances with the world?s major orchestras. He is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music and received the MBE in 2020. Plínio is a Brasilian guitarist from São Paulo who takes his inspiration from a long line of greats, the guitar being central to the Brasilian folk tradition. Now his six years at the Royal Academy of Music have opened up a whole world of Western Classical Music to his repertoire. He has recently signed to Decca Gold Records. He studied privately in Sao Paulo before gaining a full scholarship to the International Campos do Jordao. Sheku and Plínio will be performing a programme of solos and duos from Bach, including the D minor Cello Suite, to Brouwer and Villa-Lobos.

For this concert the Music Circle is working in association with both the Lioyangalani Trust, which supports education in this remote area of Kenya by providing vital resources and sponsorship for primary, secondary and vocational education, and with St Mary?s South Aisle Project which aims to modify this part of the church to create a flexible open space providing facilities for smaller church services and other gatherings. The event gives an opportunity to raise funds for all three groups.
