Peak Music’s 2024/25 season continues with two concerts epitomising the Society’s aim of bringing world-class music to the Peak District.
On Saturday, 29th March the Cavendish Hall welcomes the acclaimed young pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason. Jeneba is part of the Kanneh-Mason family from Nottingham, one of seven siblings who have recently taken the classical music world by storm. At the age of just 21 Jeneba has already performed at the BBC Proms, London’s Wigmore Hall and in concert halls in Europe and the USA. She has appeared on radio and television and her latest recording on the Sony Classical label is due out in the near future.
The programme for her Peak Music concert, which begins at 4.30pm, includes pieces by Scarlatti, Chopin, and Scriabin and Prokofiev. For non Society members, early booking will be essential.
The Society’s final concert of the season, on 27th April, also at 4.30pm, features violinist Lizzie Ball, who is a firm favourite with Peak Music audiences, having appeared in many different guises. Equally at home with classical, jazz and a host of popular genres, she has performed with a varied list of iconic artists including Nigel Kennedy, Jeff Beck and Brian Wilson.
For this concert she is joined by Milos Milivojevic, the Serbian-born musician who is in demand the world over for his virtuoso accordian playing. Like Lizzie, he is nothing if not versatile, equally thrilling be it classical, tango or world music. They will be playing classical pieces by Stravinsky, Ravel and Copland amongst others, plus the odd tango and a rendition of the famous Edith Piaf song, “La Vie En Rose”. Like the previous concert, this is likely to be a sell-out.
