About this Event
Philharmonia - Jeneba Kanneh-Mason plays Rachmaninov
Tess Jackson conductor
Jeneba Kanneh-Mason piano
RACHMANINOV Piano Concerto No. 2
TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 4
Romantic grandeur and dramatic flair close the Philharmonia's 2024/25 season in Leicester.
Bursting with more memorable melodies than many composers write in a lifetime, Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto is arguably the most popular in classical music history. Jeneba Kanneh-Mason made her Philharmonia debut with the piece in 2022, a performance in which she was praised for her ‘poetry and confidence’ (The Guardian). She returns tonight to win the hearts of the audience in Leicester.
Young British conductor – and Classic FM Rising Star – Tess Jackson makes her Philharmonia debut, completing the programme with Tchaikovsky’s explosive Symphony No. 4. A musical depiction of Fate, written after a period of personal turmoil, it’s a powerful exploration of the meaning of life. From deceptively simple melodies, Tchaikovsky builds a spellbinding forty minutes of high emotional drama.
