All-Mozart — NC Symphony featuring Jeneba Kanneh-Mason
An elegant evening of pure Mozart, delivered with clarity and emotional depth by one of classical music’s most promising young pianists. Jeneba Kanneh-Mason, celebrated for her “maturity in performance and interpretation,” is a member of the celebrated Kanneh-Mason family — seven classically trained siblings raised in Nottingham who perform violin, piano or cello, and have earned wide acclaim for their ensemble and solo work.

Keb’ Mo’
8:00 PM
Admission: $77.06+
With five Grammys, 14 Blues Foundation Awards, and a groundbreaking career spanning nearly 50 years under his belt, Keb’ Mo’s got nothing left to prove. Just don’t tell him that. Born and raised in Compton, Keb’ began his remarkable journey at the age of 21, when he landed his first major gig playing with Jefferson Airplane violinist Papa John Creach. In 1994, he would introduce the world to Keb’ Mo’ with the release of his widely acclaimed self-titled debut. Critics were quick to take note of Keb’s modern, genre-bending take on old school sounds, and two years later, he garnered his first Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album with “Just Like You.”
