Jeneba Kanneh-Mason has rapidly established herself as a compelling and mature pianist, praised for her musical insight, technical skill, and engaging stage presence.
She made her international debut at the BBC Proms performing Florence Price’s Concerto, which she later recorded with Chineke! and Leslie Suganandarajah, released by Decca Classics in 2023. Now an exclusive Sony Classical Artist, her debut solo album Fantasie (2025) received critical acclaim, earning Classic FM’s Album of the Week, praise from Gramophone, and an Edison Award nomination.
2025 and 2026 highlights include touring North America, performing with the Florida Orchestra, North Carolina Symphony, San Antonio Philharmonic, as well as making her debut solo recital tour. She has debuted with major European orchestras, toured extensively in the UK, and worked with renowned conductors.
A BBC Young Musician finalist, she has also been featured on television and radio, including Radio 3, In Tune, The BAFTAs, The Royal Variety Performance and the BBC documentaries ‘Young, Gifted and Classical’ and ‘This House is Full of Music’
