The pianist will appear at the Harrogate International Sunday Series on 26 February

 

Jeneba – who currently studies piano with Vanessa Latarche at the Royal College of Music – will perform a selection of works by Shostakovich, Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Prokofiev, as well as an exclusive performance of Florence Price’s Fantasie Negre for the recital.

Jeneba comments on her repertoire choices: “This programme has a large range of repertoire - from Prokofiev and Beethoven to Shostakovich. The individual pieces in the Romeo and Juliet and the Estampes show the importance of story-telling in music, which is something I am drawn to.”
