The voice of the world’s greatest opera houses and a pianist with a story
One of the most distinguished singers of his generation and a regular guest of the foremost international
stages, the Grammy-winning Gerald Finley, brings an exceptional song recital to Litomyšl. He is joined by
the British pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason, a member of the renowned musical family whose name
resonates across generations. Her sensitivity, empathetic approach, and natural musical elegance make
her a sought-after chamber musician and soloist.
The evening bridges Romantic songs and 20th-century repertoire, creating a musical arc that captures
human longing, restlessness, and the strength to find reconciliation.
