A vibrant celebration of fantasy and rhythm featuring prodigy British pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason and conductor Jeri Lynne Johnson — both returning to the MCO stage since last appearing in spring 2024 — this program is a tapestry of dance and reverie; a place where memory, motion, and music intertwine.
Pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason is already captivating audiences with her “maturity in performance and interpretation […], the former an uncanny phenomenon” (Fraser). The third of the Kanneh-Mason clan to establish herself as a soloist, Jeneba recently made her BBC Proms debut with the Chineke! Orchestra, performing the Florence Price Concerto and was heralded by the press as “demonstrating musical insight, technical acuity, and an engaging performing persona” (Music OMH).
