Important Update: Change of ArtistYou may have read recently about cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason suffering from a finger injury. Unfortunately, Sheku's ongoing recovery from this injury is taking longer than he anticipated, and with great regret, he must withdraw from all his concerts through to the end of May 2026.
We are, however, thrilled to announce that his sister, pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason, will present a performance in his place.
Programme
J.S. Bach Partita No. 5 in G Major, BWV 829
Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor, Op. 31, No. 2 ‘The Tempest’
Chopin Ballades 3 & 4
Florence Price Fantasie negre No. 1 in E Minor
Sheku and guitarist Plínio Fernandes will perform at The Cumnock Tryst as part of the 2027 Festival — full details will be released in due course.
We have also partnered on this event with our sister festival, Boswell Book Festival. On Saturday 9th May at midday, Jeneba's mother Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason will discuss her eloquent memoirs House of Music and To Be Young, Gifted and Black with Gillian Moore at Dumfries House.
Together, we are offering a joint-ticket at a discounted rate for attendees of both events. Full details for the Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason event will be released soon.
