Post-performance Talk Back

We’re happy to welcome yet another talent from the preternaturally gifted Kanneh-Mason family! Jebena made her debut on the international scene at the BBC Proms performing the Florence Price Concerto, and was described by London’s Evening Standard as “an eloquent advocate for the piece with her sensitive yet alert playing.” Now an exclusive Sony Classical Artist, she was named one of Classic FM’s ‘Rising Stars’. This will be Jeneba’s second VRS appearance; she previously performed with all six of her siblings at the Orpheum in 2023. It is our pleasure to welcome her back in her Canadian solo debut.

BACH: Partita No. 5 in G major, BWV 829
BEETHOVEN: Sonata No. 17 in D minor ‘Tempest’, Op. 31, No. 2
STILL: Summerland
DEBUSSY: Prélude No. 8, Book 1, La fille aux cheveux de lin
DEBUSSY: Prélude No. 5, Book 2, Bruyères
PRICE: Fantasie nègre No. 1 in E minor
CHOPIN: Ballade No. 3 in A-flat major, Op. 47

As the third-youngest of the sensationally gifted Kanneh-Mason family, Jeneba impresses as a pianist of enormous technical resources in service of an uncommonly rich and versatile musical imagination. With so much in full flower at such an early age, her future will surely be dazzling.
