Romance The Piano Music Of Clara Schumann

Rising pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason illuminates the world of her musical heroine, Clara Schumann, in the latter’s 200th anniversary year. Clara Schumann is considered one of the most distinguished composers and pianists of the Romantic era. Big sister to superstar cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, 22-year-old Isata is a postgraduate student at The Royal Academy of Music, where 4 of the KannehMason siblings are currently studying! As an undergraduate, she held the prestigious Elton John Scholarship, performing with Sir Elton John in Los Angeles in 2013. Isata reached the final of the Piano Category in the 2014 BBC Young Musician competition, and has gone on to develop a substantial live career a solo artist, with concerto appearances, recitals and chamber concerts throughout the UK and internationally. When not performing in her own right, Isata makes up a third of The Kanneh-Mason Piano Trio with her brothers Sheku and Braimah. “For the 200th anniversary of Clara Schumann’s birth, I wanted to rediscover the virtuoso pianist revered by Chopin, Liszt and Robert Schumann and uncover the creative genius which made Clara one of the first great pioneering female composers.” 'My sole aim with classical music is to get it out there to as many people as possible regardless of gender or colour because music is universal and therefore non-discriminatory. I think it should be open to everyone. Supporting women of colour in classical music is something that is important to my entire family. Becau
