This lecture-recital will explore the life of Clara Schumann (1819-1896) through her music and surroundings, her achievements and influencers.
Deservedly revered by all who knew her, she was a pioneer of female composition, who overcame societal norms to rise to fame as one of the most sought after and celebrated pianists and composers of her generation.
