Sinfonia Cymru and Sheku Kanneh-Mason

Sinfonia Cymru are joined by young cello star Sheku Kanneh-Mason for a sparkling programme including Haydn's Cello Concerto No 1 and Beethoven's Symphony No 1.

Sinfonia Cymru match their trademark sparkle to a programme of works that themselves fizz with confidence, drama and vitality. They are joined by young cello star, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, fresh from his Royal Wedding performance and chart-topping debut album, to perform Haydn鈥檚 first Cello Concerto. Later in the programme, composer Charles Ives attempts nothing less than solving the riddle of life, the universe, and everything, in his extraordinary six minute piece,The Unanswered Question. Their concert begins with C.P.E. Bach, whose music is daring and brimming with passion, and they finish with Beethoven鈥檚 musical announcement to the world that he might just be the greatest symphonist of all time.

Presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas from the Riverfront, Newport.
