Isata Kanneh-Mason
With a background from The Royal Academy of Music, Kanneh-Mason, despite being in her early twenties, has already had great achievements. She has received several prestigious awards, and has recently been booked for performances at New York's Carnegie Hall and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. The Kanneh-Masons – the pianist along with her six younger siblings, all trained in classical music – appeared on Britain's Got Talent in 2015. In 2020 the siblings released the album Carnival of the Animals.
Isata Kanneh-Mason will give two recitals in Grieg's villa, and will perform works by Mozart, Chopin and Gershwin, as well as Edvard Grieg's Notturno from Lyric Pieces.
These concerts during the Bergen International Festival will be her first in Norway.

Information
Events planned for the 2021 Bergen International Festival will be launched throughout the autumn and winter.
It is likely that plans for the 2021 Bergen International Festival will be affected by the pandemic. By launching performances and artists as they are confirmed, the Festival would like to draw attention to the work our wonderful artists do, while knowing that the final festival programme may look different.
The festival will follow the health authorities' orders and recommendations, and wants to create safe conditions and the least possible inconvenience to our audience. Therefore, ticket sales will not start until the spring.
