Kanneh-Masons visit Kanneh-Mason Class!

A wonderful occasion as Braimah and Konya Kanneh-Mason, our newest Apollo Associate Artists, visited London Fields Primary School to play to KS2, including Year 4 Kanneh-Mason class! The children were understandably thrilled at meeting their heroes, and were an amazing audience. The children wrote delightful letters to Braimah and Konya: “You have made me as happy as I can be. I thought music wasn’t my thing, but when I saw you, you inspired me so now I want to do piano and violin.” Thanks to both wonderful artists for an amazing and inspiring afternoon.
