Isata Kanneh-Mason in Recital: Beethoven, Ravel, and Tabakova

Isata Kanneh-Mason, whose playing has been called “calmly commanding” and “unfailingly subtle” by The New York Times, makes her SLSO debut in a recital with music inspired by nighttime and daybreak. From the timeless opening notes of Beethoven’s “Moonlight” sonata to Dobrinka Tabakova’s starlight-hued Nocturne and Ravel’s haunting Gaspard de la Nuit (Gaspard of the Night), in the hands of Kanneh-Mason, the piano travels from sparkling to moody and contemplative.
