Two of the classical music world’s biggest rising stars, Sheku Kenneh-Mason and Isata Kanneh-Mason, perform for the first time together in Carnegie Hall’s grandest concert hall: Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage. In this afternoon performance, they showcase their remarkable artistic rapport in a program of cello sonatas by Felix Mendelssohn, Fauré, and Poulenc, as well as a new work by Natalie Klouda. The siblings’ 2022 sold-out duo concert of sonatas in Zankel Hall was praised for its “sense of togetherness, of shared sensibility [that] permeated the whole concert” (The New York Times). “This truly felt like a concert of duets.” Performed at their best, these pieces are true collaborative showcases.

Worldwide audience favorite Lang Lang returns to the recital stage for his third and final concert of the Carnegie Hall season. He performs a generous selection of works by Chopin—including a dozen of the composer’s distinctive mazurka that span the majority of Chopin’s career; and the briskly defiant Polonaise in F-sharp Minor, Op. 44. Great musical drama is also found in Robert Schumann’s volatile, many-faceted Kreisleriana—an eight-movement work the composer once called his favorite. The recital begins with the original, solo-piano version of Fauré’s enduringly popular Pavane in F-sharp Minor, Op. 50.
