22-year old Jeneba Kanneh-Mason is the next rising star from the remarkable British family of seven musical siblings. In April of last year she signed an exclusive contract with Sony Classical and just released her debut solo album, “Fantasie,” on which she performs works by Chopin, Debussy, Scriabin, Margaret Bonds, Florence Price, and William Grant Still.
“The piano repertoire is enormous and I’m excited to be able to explore it, discovering the old, the new, and to perform pieces by more women, as well as black and minority ethnic composers,” Jeneba said.
“I can’t remember a time when classical music wasn’t an integral part of my life, and I am a huge advocate for its positive influences and ability to really connect with such a wide range of people."
From her new album, Jeneba [JEN-eh-ba] performs the Frédéric Chopin Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat-minor (with an iconic melody in the third movement) for today’s Midday Masterpiece.
