Orpheus Chamber Orchestra & Isata Kanneh-Mason, piano

The acclaimed Orpheus Chamber Orchestra returns to our series in a much-anticipated performance, performing works by Handel, Haydn, and Mozart. Joined by award-winning British pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason in her FCM debut, this electrifying program showcases the magic that happens when world-class artists come together in true musical partnership.  The program includes a world premiere by composer Katie Jenkins, co-commissioned through FCM’s Commissioning Initiative.

“Playing with perfect unanimity, [Orpheus] performances have polish and spirit, and display an infectious love for making music.”  – The New York Times

“She plays with unreserved power when necessary, thundering forth full-bodied chords that combine sonorous weight and perfectly rounded edges.”
– San Francisco Chronicle
