Details

Sheku and Isata Kanneh-Mason form one of today’s most fascinating chamber music duos. Siblings and internationally acclaimed artists, they share a musical rapport that translates into performances of profound and natural expressiveness. Their debut at the Palau de la Música Catalana presents a rich and evocative programme, alternating the lyrical delicacy of Mendelssohn, the sensitivity of Schumann, and the emotional intensity of works by Nadia Boulanger and Rebecca Clarke. A recital that celebrates the diversity of voices and aesthetics, delivered by two fully mature artistic personalities. An evening of intimacy and emotion in the modernist heart of the city.
