Almost one year after playing at the annual\u00a0Wings of Charity Gala Dinner & Auction hosted in London by the Halo Foundation Inc.<\/em>, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason has been selected to be part of the line-up of musicians who will be performing at the Royal Wedding in a few weeks.\u00a0The historic ceremony will take place on May 19th<\/sup> at the St. George\u2019s Chapel, Windsor Castle.<\/p>

In June 2017, Prince Harry was the guest of honour at the Halo charity event held at the Rosewood London. In explanation of his decision to approach Sheku, the Prince indicated that he had been impressed by the passion and talent of the 19-year old.<\/p>\n

During an interview with the United Kingdom media Sheku said, “I was bowled over when Ms Markle called me to ask if I would play during the ceremony, and of course, I immediately said yes.”<\/p>
