The Pittsburgh Concert Society presents pianist Leslie Amper for their season finale Alumni Concert this Sunday at 2:00pm. Leslie speaks with Jim Cunningham about her program, a multimedia performance that will feature Schumann's Kreisleriana.
Interspersed between Kreisleriana’s eight movements will be spoken excerpts from their many letters in which Robert and Clara reveal their dreams, struggles and their intense love of music and for each other. Leslie will also accompany a short film, Stolen Heart (Das Gestohlene Herz, 1934), an animation by Lotte Reiniger, with children's music by Robert Schumman.
Leslie Amper will be at Carnegie Mellon University's Kresge Theater on Sunday, May 7th at 2:00pm. More information and tickets are available on the Pittsburgh Concert Society's website.
