Young British pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason's recording debut of the works of Clara Schumann had an auspicious launch at No. 1 on the U.K. Classical Charts in 2019. Gramophone proclaimed it "one of the most charming and engaging debuts." She has seven musical siblings-including cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason-who are fast becoming Britain's first family of classical music.
Isata Kanneh-Mason is the recipient of the 2021 Leonard Bernstein Award, a 2020 Opus Klassik award for best young artist and, as a member of the Kanneh-Mason family, the 2021 best classical artist at the Global Awards.
Since studying with Hamish Milne and Carole Presland at London's Royal Academy of Music, graduating in 2020 with a Master of Arts in Performance and the Diploma of the Royal Academy of Music (awarded for outstanding postgraduate final recital performance), Isata has embarked on a successful and increasingly busy concert career as a solo artist, with concerto appearances, solo recitals and chamber concerts throughout the U.K. and abroad.

MOZART: Sonata No. 14 in C minor K. 457
BEETHOVEN: Sonata No. 1 in F minor, Op. 2, No. 1
