Musical family

Seven children in a single family - and all of them are learning and performing classical music. Sheku Kanneh-Mason comes from a remarkable family. Sheku himself, at the age of 19, was tapped to play his cello at the royal wedding last month in Windsor, England.

Artistic talent is often supported in the artist's family where parents "cultivated and encouraged that talent and built a home where it could blossom. Some of the greatest musicians of all time came from musical homes: Bach’s family boasted everything from royal musicians to church organists, Rachmaninov’s first piano teacher was his own mother, and Pavarotti learned to sing from his father, who himself was an amateur tenor."
