Kanneh-Mason father to chair major charity
NewsThe music education charity Music Masters has appointed Stuart Mason as Chair of its Board of Trustees, replacing Simon Freakley who steps down after twelve years.
Currently on the Board at Music Masters and Wigmore Hall, Stuart is Senior Vice President Commercial at Belmond, a global luxury travel company.
He says: ‘Every child is creative. Every child needs the chance to find and fulfil their creative
ambition. As parents of the Kanneh-Mason children, Kadiatu and I knew we wanted music to
be part of our children’s lives and we also know what it means to have help along the way. As
Chair of Music Masters, I’d love to give back and lend my voice – to share the Music Masters
story and help children in their hundreds and thousands to fulfil their creative potential.’
Absolutely thrilled to see Stuart Mason’s appointment. We cannot put a value on the creativity of the youth, lest we risk supplying an empty well with hula-hoops and Paganini.
The Kanneh-Mason children are absolutely brilliant!
this is box ticking, nothing more
I would have thought the combination of his day job and his and his family’s constant involvement in music (both industry and education) would make him a good candidate for the board of a music charity actually.
If it were nothing more than box-ticking, he wouldn’t hold a senior role in Belmond.
