Darrell Grant
Piano
Prodigy in
Portland
Musician performs
new work by
Darrel Grant
Award-winning pianist Isata
Kanneh-Mason, 21, will be per-
forming a new composition by ac-
claimed Portland musician Darrell
Grant and other works in a series
of performances, Jan. 25-27, and
at various locations.
Kanneh-Mason, an undergrad-
uate at The Royal Academy of
Music in London, has garnered
numerous awards and scholar-
ships for her piano playing since
taking up the instrument at age
Isata Kanneh-Mason
10. She has made several BBC
television and radio appearances,
and even performed with Elton
John.
Grant is a Jazz Society of Or-
egon Hall of Fame inductee and
prolific musician whose album
‘Black Art’ was listed as New
York Times Top 10 Jazz Albums
in 1994. His music centers on
themes of hope, community, and
place and his newest work, ‘Dark-
er Angels,’ which Kanneh-Mason
will be performing, was inspired
by the work of classical composer
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, one of
the first classical musicians of Af-
rican descent to gain international
recognition.
Her upcoming performances
are part of Portland Piano Interna-
tional’s Rising Star series. Tickets
and the full line up can be found at
