This event was previously scheduled as a duo concert featuring Isata and Sheku Kanneh-Mason. Please see below for additional details.

Award-winning British pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason presents a solo recital at the Library of Congress, showcasing her poetic insight, expressive depth, and imaginative artistry. The program features works by Ludwig van Beethoven, Maurice Ravel, and Dobrinka Tabakova, offering an evening of intimacy, virtuosity, and luminous sound.

Pre-concert Conversation with the Artists 

6:30 pm, Whittall Pavilion 

Sheku’s ongoing recovery from his finger injury is taking longer than he had anticipated and with, huge regret, he must withdraw from all his concerts through the end of May 2026. He is extremely disappointed to be unable to play at the Library of Congress as planned. It was a concert he was looking forward to enormously. He is grateful for your understanding and hopes very much that the concert can be re-scheduled at a later date.
