JENEBA KANNEH-MASON IS OUR NEW ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
OXINABOX REVIEW: ‘Jeneba Kanneh-Mason is a truly exciting pianist and her performance with OSJ at Dorchester Abbey made it abundantly clear why’
Jeneba Kanneh-Mason and the OSJ Orchestra were locked in perfect synergy, the opening of Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major Allegramente sparkling with jazz-inflected vitality.
‘Ravel’s Adagio assai was rendered with such poignant beauty that the audience at Dorchester Abbey sat in rapt silence’
Dorchester Abbey provided the perfect backdrop for an evening that proved as spiritually uplifting as it was musically exhilarating. Under the baton of the ever-masterful John Lubbock OBE, Orchestra of St John’s delivered a night of French elegance and Stravinskian wit that left the capacity audience spellbound.
The programme for this esteemed evening also included Ravel’s Ma Mère l’Oye (Mother Goose Suite) and Stravinsky’s Pulcinella with soprano Suzzie Vango, tenor Dominic Bevan and bass Alex Jones in what was a superb evening in every respect.
