In May 2016 Sheku won BBC Young Musician of the Year, with his performance of Shostacovich’s Cello Concerto No 1.

“A rising star in the classical music world.” Daily Telegraph
“The hall crackled with the energy that the 17-year-old produced.” The Times
“ He was electric. A sincere and moving performance.” Dobrinka Tabakova, Chair of Judges

The 17 year old musician described winning as " a wonderful feeling".
He added: "I'm so grateful for all the support from my family, the Junior Royal Academy of Music, my teacher Ben Davies and Chineke! ( http://www.chineke.org/) that have helped me on this extraordinary journey."

The programme, conducted by our guest conductor Chris George, also includes Walton’s Johannesburg Overture, Sibelius’ Karelia Suite and Borodin’s Symphony No 2.
