Kalinnikov, Mozart & Tchaikovsky

& Isata Kanneh-Mason*

Vasily Kalinnikov Tsar Boris: Overture

W.A. Mozart Piano Concerto No. 27 in Bb Major*

P.I. Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6 'Pathetique'

The Worthing Symphony Orchestra and Isata Kanneh-Mason open WSO’s 100th season with a powerful programme of Russian drama and Classical elegance. Kalinnikov’s Tsar Boris: Overture opens with sweeping grandeur, Mozart’s final Piano Concerto offers luminous intimacy, and Tchaikovsky’s deeply moving Symphony No. 6 ‘Pathétique’ brings the evening to a profoundly emotional and unforgettable close.

Isata is in high demand from concert halls and orchestras worldwide. In July 2024, she was invited to perform at the First Night of the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall with the BBC Symphony and conductor Elim Chan, a performance which resulted in stellar reviews in the mainstream press. Isata went on to appear as concerto soloist with the European Union Youth Orchestra and Iván Fischer in summer 2024 performing Dohnányi’s Variations on a Nursery Tune at New York’s Carnegie Hall.

Highlights of the 2025/26 season include Rachmaninoff’s third piano concerto with Bar Avni and the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, and with Petr Popelka with the Prague Radio Symphony at the Rudolfinum. Isata makes further debuts with the Naples Philharmonic and Seattle Symphony, and returns to the City of Birmingham Symphony, the BBC Scottish Symphony, Detroit Symphony, and National Arts Centre Orchestra Ottawa.

Isata is a Decca Classics artist.
