Isata Kanneh-Mason piano

Mosolov - The Iron Foundry
Rachmaninov - Piano Concerto No.2
Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition

Our final concert opens with a work little known in this country Mosolov's The Iron Foundry. Written in 1926/7, it became his most famous composition. Mosolov uses the orchestra to create ma- chine-like sounds by using short overlapping phrases, vividly imi- tating the workings of a factory.
Our soloist is the young pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason. Since reaching the piano category final of BBC Young Musician in 2014, Isata has enjoyed a successful and increasingly busy concert career. She will be performing perhaps the most popular piano concerto in the repertoire, Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No.2. The final work is Mussorgsky's most famous composition, Pictures at an Exhibition. The individual movements depict the paintings and sketches of Mussorgsky's friend, Vladimir Hartmann. We will be performing Ravel's arrangement of this great piano work.

Don't miss Josephine Peach's entertaining and informative pre-concert talks, starting at 6.30pm in the main hall !
