Famed Cellist to Headline Amelia Chamber Festival Season

Kanneh-Mason is a graduate of London’s Royal Academy of Music, and in May 2022 he was appointed as the academy’s first Menuhin Visiting Professor of Performance Mentoring.

He was appointed the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) member in the 2020 New Year’s Honors List.

Artistic Director William Ransom and Executive Director Nina Knight have curated a season that blends classical masterpieces with jazz and bluegrass.
