One of the most exciting young pianists of her generation, Isata Kanneh-Mason brings a wide-ranging and imaginative recital to WMC, exploring dreams, serenades and moonlit nights. Alongside piano favourites such as Beethoven’s “Moonlight” Sonata, with its hauntingly beautiful opening movement, and the Notturno from Grieg’s Lyric Pieces, she performs a rarely heard early miniature from Strauss’s “Stimmungsbilder” and a recently rediscovered work by Florence Price.

About Isata Kanneh-Mason
Isata Kanneh-Mason is first and foremost a pianist but is also a composer and arranger who is passionate about chamber music, romantic repertoire and loves to bring a range of styles to her performances. She offers eclectic and stimulating recital programmes with repertoire encompassing Fanny Mendelssohn and Clara Schumann, Chopin and Brahms, to Gershwin, Dobrinka Tabakova and Coleridge Taylor. In concerto, she is equally at home in Felix Mendelssohn and Beethoven as in Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff.
“I want people’s perceptions of a piano recital to be expanded from the expected and conventional. I’d like people to leave the concert hall feeling curious about repertoire that was unfamiliar and more passionate and interested about the music they already knew. I think contrast in programming is vital for the survival of music old and new.”
Isata is in high demand from concert halls and orchestras worldwide. In July 2024, she was invited to perform at the First Night of the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall with the BBC Symphony and conductor Elim Chan, a performance which resulted in stellar reviews in the mainstream press. Isata went on to appear as concerto soloist with the European Union Youth Orchestra and Iván Fischer in summer 2024 performing Dohnányi’s Variations on a Nursery Tune at New York’s Carnegie Hall.
