L'éclatant succès du Chineke! Orchestra à la Philharmonie

Jean-Pierre Rousseau, 26th September

La phalange qui fête ses dix ans d'existence a remporté un triomphe dans un programme original et ô combien enthousiasmant, en belle compagnie – avec Sheku et Isata Kanneh-Mason, Tai Murray et Roderick Cox.

Exciting but inconsistent playing from the EUYO at Carnegie Hall

Cameron Kelsall, 6th August

Under Iván Fischer's direction, Mahler's First Symphony is notable more for bombastic passion than subtle artistry.

The Kanneh-Masons and friends at the Aldeburgh Festival

Roy Westbrook, 21st June

Some chamber concerts, like this one at Snape Maltings, can turn a public hall into a large drawing room.

Expressive, virtuosic cello sonatas from Sheku and Isata Kanneh-Mason

Nick Boston, 28th May

An impressive evening at the Barbican from two rapidly maturing performers, unafraid to bring chamber music to audiences more familiar with standard virtuosic concerto displays.

Isata Kanneh-Mason makes a glittering Proms debut in Prokofiev

Dominic Lowe, 1st August

The BBC National Orchestra of Wales under Ryan Bancroft joined Kanneh-Mason as she tackled Prokofiev's most popular piano concerto with easy dexterity, then delivering a powerful performance of Tchaikovsky.

Colour and thrills from Hindoyan, Kanneh-Mason and the RLPO

Peter Connors, 27th April

Isata Kanneh-Mason thrills with sparking fingerwork in Prokofiev, while the RLPO and Domingo Hindoyan are just as dazzling in Falla and Stravinsky.
