The Kanneh-Masons are one of Britain’s pre-eminent musical families. Following her siblings Isata and Sheku, who can already be seen on the world’s concert stages, the 21-year-old pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason is now conquering the music world.

Having only just signed an exclusive contract with Sony Classical in April 2024, she can be heard for the first time in Munich, as a soloist with the Munich Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Yue Bao, performing Rachmaninoff’s passionately seething Piano Concerto No 2.

 

The second part of the concert features Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No 1, a dreamlike declaration of love to the winter of his Russian homeland. Titled Winter Daydreams, Tchaikovsky’s First conjures up romantic images of longing, of the pale winter’s sun in an enchanted landscape.

Programme:

  • Sergei Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No 2 in C minor, Op 18
  • Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky: Symphony No 1 in G minor, Op 13, Winter Daydreams
