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 around the world.
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.
Isata has recorded four solo albums for Decca Classics – Romance (2019), Summertime (2021), Childhood Tales (2023), and Mendelssohn (2024), the latest of which presents music from Mendelssohn siblings Felix and Fanny alongside transcriptions by Rachmaninov and Liszt of some of Felix’s most famous music.
