Described as “a born musician with a virtuoso technique”, Isata Kanneh-Mason has been praised for “her ability to engage your emotions from first note to last – and to think outside the box” (Gramophone).
For this recital, Kanneh-Mason presents two of Beethoven’s best-loved works for solo piano: the ‘Moonlight’ Sonata, with its famous extraordinarily beautiful opening movement, and the dazzlingly virtuosic ‘Waldstein’ Sonata. Ravel’s expressionistic masterpiece Gaspard de la nuit and works by award-winning Bulgarian-British composer, Dobrinka Tabakova, complement this evening of glorious melodies.
