The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) returns to the Center for the Arts for an exhilarating
program of Russian masterpieces with rising star pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason. Under the
esteemed direction of Maestro Vasily Petrenko, RPO plays Debussy's sprightly colorful Danse
(orchestration by Ravel) and Rimsky-Korsakov’s brilliant symphonic poem, Scheherazade,
which depicts the exotic fantasy tale using every instrument of the orchestra to tell the story.
RPO is cemented in its place at the forefront of classical music performance and is unwavering
in its dedication to excellence while developing its programming, breaking down barriers, and
making classical music accessible and inclusive. British pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason, the
2022/2023 Artist-in-Residence with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, masterfully performs
Prokofiev’s popular third piano concerto. In addition to recording three albums, she was an
ECHO Rising Star and recipient of the coveted Leonard Bernstein Award and an Opus Klassik
award for Best Young Artist. “She’s a phenom,” raves the San Francisco Chronicle; and is
“calmly commanding… unfailingly subtle,” says The New York Times.
Ages: This performance is appropriate for all ages.
Center for the Arts at George Mason University is at 4373 Mason Pond Drive, Fairfax.
