Pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason returns to Peckham’s converted car park Bold Tendencies, after closing the season in 2022 with her epic performance of Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto.
This time round she’ll present a solo piano programme, featuring Shostakovich’s Prelude and Fugue in D Major from his cycle of 24 pieces for solo piano written in 1950, Beethoven’s angular, experimental Sonata No. 7 in D Major, and Liszt’s Vallé d’Obermann from his “Years of Pilgrimage” suites.
Liszt’s framing of music’s capacity to mitigate suffering is mirrored in Florence Price’s magnificent Fantasie Negre No. 1 in E Minor, a melodic, expansive, exultant piece based on the African American spiritual “Please Don’t Let This Harvest Pass” which will close the concert.
