Music education charity Music Masters has announced that cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason has been appointed to the newly created role of patron, building on over seven years of partnership with the charity as advocate and ambassador.
In his new role, Kanneh-Mason will help to raise the profile of the charity, promoting its key initiatives which aim to improve access to music in schools and quality of teaching as well as projects that see the charity work with the UK classical music sector to improve diversity and access to opportunity.
Kanneh-Mason said: ‘I have been delighted to work with Music Masters as an ambassador and am now excited to be associated even more closely with them via this new role. I’ve always been inspired by the wonderful work they do and loved going into schools and witnessing first-hand the children’s remarkable response to music. It can sometimes be difficult for young people to develop confidence in their creative potential and their access to music-making can play an important role in giving a child not only a sense of wellbeing, but purpose, and a new perspective on what they might achieve in anything.’
