The mother of cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason has spoken out about the “barrage of racism” her son has suffered since appearing on the BBC Radio 4 programme Desert Island Discs last week.
Kanneh-Mason, 24, is a former BBC Young Musician of the Year who dazzled Royal guests and the wider public with his performance at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018. He has also performed at major events such as the Last Night of the Proms, where he was a soloist last year.
