NORWICH, UK – KADIATU – DISCUSSION

SPEAKER
Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason

VENUE NOTE
Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason is a remarkable woman and mother. Her seven children have all become internationally acclaimed classical musicians, playing concerts around the world — including Royal weddings — and releasing numerous recordings of their work.

But as a family from Nottingham of mixed heritage, their rise to success has not been without challenges. To Be Young, Gifted and Black is a mother’s account of leading her prodigiously talented children through the elitist, monocultural world of classical music whilst learning how to live with the pressure of online racism and abuse. It is an extraordinary, inspiring story.

Kadiatu will be in conversation with Josh Rivers, the presenter of the Busy Being Black podcast.
