his name is shaikh who kind a mason and it is in fact his first time with the zurich tone how the orchestra it's a rehearsal for his first concert in switzerland. playing dmitri shostakovich is cello concerto number one. and. just a few bars and it's obvious this is not just any young conservatory musician. she kind of mason jumps right into one of the most technically difficult pieces for the cello. the first time i heard this insurance i was on you tube i was watching a video of missionizing playing it. my teacher told me to but i never had

a friend of this piece this was when i was about. fourteen fifteen i think this piece goes through such a huge range of emotions and colors from. really letting me. feelings tea or most kind of screaming and lots of sarcasm yeah it's just full of. everything really and i think that's why. both paying and listen to come be quite emotional. the very same cello concerto gave kind to me some his greatest success to date in twenty sixteen when he won the b.b.c. young musician competition. the award helped to launch his career. it all started back home with his family. chic who was the third of seven children

all of the musicians. it was their parents who made sure that music would become a natural part of their daily lives in spite of a tight budget and a lack of mentors. i always loved classical music because i grew up listening to and i never saw. my background is kind of obstacle in that but i think there is definitely. a massive lack of diversity and i think one of the main reasons for that is if you are young . a person from an ethnic minority background and. would rarely see someone

who looks like you performing on a stage and that's something that. i have to change and i hope you know trojan to see what i'm doing and to see how it is because something or that. shakes you kind of mason breaks free from the cliches of the world of classical music in zurich conductor howard griffiths sat in on the dress rehearsal. he keeps an eye out for talented young musicians for the year fame foundation. they say imaginative or say he's a very imaginative musician who's brimming with emotion dusts the victim that's the most important trait for an artist to be able to bring feelings across because he sed i think it's a gift that not every cellist or musician has to be sick i don't want to have that gift at this age is really something special in the lungs of a son

a very slow movement see can find something to tell and we the audience can hear the tale says and that's what's most important. she could kind of mason grabs his listener's attention after the concert he signed one cd after another in february his debut album inspiration made number one on britain's classical music charts he's a young talent with much to offer and the potential to set a shining example for other musicians in the future. hour that we wrap up today. so before we go we want to let you weigh in on this week's contest now we
