Michelle Cann, piano

“Michelle Cann is technically fearless, with a bold attack and an enormous, rich sound…But even more than Cann’s
virtuosity, it was her joyous, lit-from-within energy that connected with the audience.” — La Scena Musicale

Cann is the recipient of the 2022 Sphinx Medal of Excellence, the highest honor bestowed by the Sphinx Organization, dedicated to the development of Black and Latinx classical musicians.  Her program reflects her commitment to and passionate advocacy of music by underrepresented composers.

“…technically fearless with an enormous rich sound” – La Scena Musicale
