Jeneba Kanneh-Mason

Jeneba Kanneh-Mason is a deeply committed musician, dedicated to her audiences. With a passion for curating programmes that cross diverse musical landscapes, her debut solo album Fantasie explores connections between the chosen composers, whether they met, influenced each other, or simply existed in resonance. From Debussy, Chopin and Scriabin to Florence Price, Margaret Bonds and William Grant Still, Jeneba presents a programme which is very personal to her. “All these works mean a lot to me and by having them here on my debut album, I am revealing more of myself as a musician as I share the different styles of music I grew up listening to.” The third youngest of the prodigiously musical Kanneh-Mason family, Jeneba first made headlines with her BBC Proms debut in 2021 performing music by Florence Price. 22-year-old Jeneba knows instinctively who she is as a musician. “We are a very close-knit family, yet we all have very individual personalities and our own voices”. Fantasie will be released internationally on March 7 on Sony Classical.
