Isata Kanneh-Mason in Recital presented by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra tickets

Acclaimed as ‘a profound and greatly gifted artist’ (Gramophone) and ‘a pianist who makes lines sing beautifully and virtuosic passages dance,’ (BBC Music Magazine), this captivating pianist brings her energy and precision to the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall.  

The jaw-dropping virtuosity, power and nuance demanded by these big works makes this a program of exciting moments. Two of Beethoven’s best-loved sonatas, the shadowy, poetic Moonlight and the exuberant Waldstein, are paired with Ravel’s fiendishly difficult Gaspard de la Nuit – one of the most demanding pieces in the piano repertoire. In Isata’s hands, the vivid atmospheres and poignant intensity of these works become thrillingly present.  

As a quietly radiant counterpoint, two pieces by contemporary Bulgarian-British composer Dobrinka Tabakova round out one must-see Sydney debut.

If you love the pure pleasure of piano in recital, you will get so much out of this debut by a performer who’s leaving audiences buzzing around the world over.
