Two of the classical music world’s biggest rising stars, Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Isata Kanneh-Mason, perform for the first time together in Carnegie Hall’s grandest concert hall: Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage. In this afternoon performance, they showcase their remarkable artistic rapport in a program of cello sonatas by Felix Mendelssohn, Fauré, and Poulenc, as well as a new work by Natalie Klouda. The siblings’ 2022 sold-out duo concert of sonatas in Zankel Hall was praised for its “sense of togetherness, of shared sensibility [that] permeated the whole concert” (The New York Times). “This truly felt like a concert of duets.” Performed at their best, these pieces are true collaborative showcases.
