Isata Kanneh-Mason offers eclectic and interesting recital programmes with repertoire from Haydn and Mozart, Fanny Mendelssohn and Clara Schumann, Chopin and Brahms to Gershwin and beyond, and is in high demand worldwide.
Following her concerto debut at the BBC Proms in 2023, she was invited to open the 2024 festival with the BBCSO and Elim Chan, to stellar reviews. She appeared as concerto soloist with the European Union Youth Orchestra and Iván Fischer in 2024 at Carnegie Hall, the Grafenegg Festival and Bolzano Festival.
Highlights of the 2024/25 season include Beethoven’s fourth concerto at the FREISPIEL festival and with the Ulster Orchestra, and Prokofiev’s third concerto with the Chineke! Orchestra on tour at Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Berliner Philharmonie, BOZAR Brussels and London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall. Solo recital venues include Lucerne Festival, Piano aux Jacobins Toulouse, Schumann-Haus Düsseldorf, PHIL Haarlem, and on tour across the USA. In concerto performance, Isata appears with the London, Bergen, Bremen, and Duisburg philharmonics, the North Carolina Symphony, and on tour with the Staatskapelle Weimar and the Residentie Orkest.
Isata continues her duo collaboration with her cellist brother, Sheku, and will also perform with bass-baritone Gerald Finley in the Czech Republic and Germany. In 2023/24 she gave performances with the Philadelphia Orchestra, National Arts Centre Orchestra Ottawa, NCPA Orchestra Beijing, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on tour in the USA and Germany, Cleveland Orchestra, Toronto Symphony, and Stockholm Philharmonic, amongst others. She appeared in solo recitals at the Beethoven Bonn and Rheingau festivals, and at venues such as Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, Boston’s Jordan Hall and the Konzerthaus Dortmund.
Isata has recorded four solo albums for Decca Classics – Romance (2019), Summertime (2021), Childhood Tales (2023), and Mendelssohn (2024), the latest presenting music from Mendelssohn siblings Felix and Fanny alongside transcriptions by Rachmaninov and Liszt of some of Felix’s most famous music.
