Sheku Kanneh-Mason presents his own work, "Melody" with the CSO, Thu 2/6 @ 8pm

(April 2020) "I wrote this tune a while back, inspired by folk music I love listening to. I never intended to release it but felt now would be a good time to share it. I hope it might encourage people to try something new and express their creativity during this difficult time." - Sheku
