Hailed as the successor to Jacqueline du Pr茅, who made Elgar's Cello Concerto her own, and the cellist at the recent Wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, 19-year-old Sheku Kanneh-Mason joins 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales as they begin their three-day residency at Cheltenham Music Festival. The violinist Daniel Pioro is the soloist in Vaughan Williams' gorgeous setting of George Meredith's poem, The Lark Ascending, and conductor Martyn Brabbins takes the baton in the ballet music from Holst's parody on the world of Opera and British sensibility - The Perfect Fool.
