[Pre Order] Sheku Kanneh-Mason - Hope in Shadow - LP *

Release Date: December 11, 2026

Internationally acclaimed cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason presents his 8th studio album, Hope in Shadow.

Recorded with Edward Gardner and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the album features Saint-Saens' Cello Concerto No. 1, Bruch's Kol Nidrei, Bloch's Schelomo: Rhapsodie Hebraique, and John Williams’ Theme from Schindler’s List. “Hope comes in many ways, and I have always sought those gleaming moments from the shadows. In the musical depths of desperation comes beauty, determination and what feels like a pearl of inspiration out of nowhere. For this album I wanted to gather pieces which contain their own view of Hope in Shadow; in the sound and in their intent. There is a darkness, a sombre and sorrowful quality that gives way to precious splashes of light. During times which feel so very unstable and affect so many in the world, these works are a small yet powerful outcry to cling to and simply to reflect upon, relate to and perhaps even bring some comfort.” – Sheku Kanneh-Mason
