Chineke! Orchestra: Harmony and Heritage

Thursday 21 November

Pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason makes her solo debut with the orchestra in a night of depth and diversity, under the baton of Kevin John Edusei.

 

This concert is not just a gathering of musical talent but also a celebration of the familial bonds within the Chineke! Orchestra.

The concert opens with the UK premiere of the dynamic sounds of Derrick Skye’s Prisms, Cycles, Leaps.

A founding member of the Chineke! Orchestra, Isata Kanneh-Mason makes her highly anticipated solo debut with the orchestra this evening.

Her performance of Sergei Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No.3 promises to be a deeply personal and poignant interpretation, reflecting her intimate connection with the ensemble.

The programme culminates with another world premiere; this time of Brian Raphael Nabors’ Concerto for Orchestra, a composition that marries the traditional richness of orchestral sound with the freshness of contemporary musical innovation.

With Edusei’s seasoned leadership and Kanneh-Mason’s debut performance, the evening is set to be a harmonious blend of heritage and innovation, showcasing the depth and diversity that define the Chineke! Orchestra.
