SUMMARY:BIRMINGHAM – KADIATU & MARIATU – DISCUSSION AND PERFORMANCE
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean – and how does it feel – to grow up as a Black artist today?\nJoin us for an inspiring evening at The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire with the award-winning Dr Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason in conversation with Anton Clarke-Butler (Freelance Clarinettist) as they reflect on the challenges and celebrations of creating art as Black musicians. This fascinating discussion will be provoked by Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason’s highly reviewed book “To Be Young, Gifted and Black”.\n‘[Kanneh-Mason’s] perceptive new book about the complexities of what it is to live – and excel – in contemporary Britain as a Black artist… a series of essays that deftly weave together personal accounts with broader political commentary. As a former academic, Kanneh-Mason’s analysis is sharp and nuanced, while her writing often zings with poetry. A powerful, commendable book.’ —BBC Music Magazine, ★★★★\nHear their personal stories, insights, and experiences navigating the world of music, creativity, and identity. The evening will include a special performance by Mariatu Kanneh-Mason, showcasing her extraordinary talent.\n
