Isata Kanneh-Mason

Award-winning pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason is in great demand internationally as a soloist and chamber musician. She has performed in many of Europe’s finest halls as an ECHO Rising Star, and is the recipient of the coveted Leonard Bernstein Award and an Opus Klassik award for best young artist. Currently Kanneh-Mason is Artist in Residence with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Her Meany debut performance features an eclectic program including Fanny Mendelssohn’s Easter Sonata, lost for 150 years and then attributed to her brother Felix, before finally being recognized as hers.
