SPECIAL EVENT

“Thrilling, engrossing and illuminating.”—Gramophone

UGA Presents is proud to welcome the acclaimed British pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason to Hodgson Concert Hall for a very special performance inaugurating the Performing Arts Center’s new Hamburg Steinway D piano. From concerto performances with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, to collaborations with her brother Sheku Kanneh-Mason, to solo recitals across the United States and Europe, Kanneh-Mason showcases star power and virtuosity in equal measure. She brings musicality and skill to a program of music by Haydn, Fanny Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, and Chopin in her first visit to Athens.

Free Admission (Tickets Required)
