Music Masters – music education charity, our friends, and RPS Corporate Members – are hosting a celebratory concert in aid of the charity, featuring the Kanneh-Mason family joined by other leading musicians.

They'll share some of their favourite chamber works including Schubert’s much-loved 'Trout' quintet and Isata Kanneh-Mason’s love song to Wales, Hiraeth. In the second half, the family reprises its 2021 BBC Proms performance of Camille Saint-Saëns’ whimsical much-loved suite, Carnival of the Animals, narrated by author Michael Morpurgo.
