About
Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason and pianist Benjamin Grosvenor in duo recital on Carnegie Hall's main stage, April 28, 2027.
Two of Britain's most celebrated young soloists in the same recital: Kanneh-Mason's cello tone is famously warm and Grosvenor is a pianist's pianist. Duo recitals on the main stage are rare — this is a headline booking. It's an ideal first Carnegie Hall visit for anyone who finds full-orchestra programs daunting. Both artists sell out London's Wigmore Hall routinely; Carnegie's larger room is the easier ticket.
What to expect
A chamber recital, about two hours with intermission; cello-piano sonatas are the likely core.
Good to know
- Program announced by Carnegie Hall
- N/R/W to 57th St–7th Ave
- Main-floor seats near the front give the best cello sound
- Recitals typically end by 10pm
