7 Lives of Music - The Kanneh-Mason Family

Monday, December 16 at 9pm on MPT

The Kanneh-Masons are seven brothers and sisters with ranging from 12 to 25 years in age - Isata, Braimah, Sheku, Konya, Jeneba, Aminata, and Mariatu are all gifted musicians in their own right on violin, piano, or cello. In May 2021, the siblings collectively received the Global Award for Best Classical Artist. The film follows the siblings and their music-loving parents, Stuart Mason and Dr. Kadiatu Kannehon, on and off the stage as they conquer the musical world together and grow into their own as artists. 7 LIVES OF MUSIC - THE KANNEH-MASON FAMILY is a meaningful portrait of family, weaving together the exceptionally true stories of their successes as well as recognizing the barriers the siblings face as young Black people in the white-dominated classical music space.
