Robert Schumann: 1810 - 2010
SEPtember 17-18, 2010
Harbourfront Centre Theatre, toronto
A multidimensional program that celebrated the music of Robert Schumann. Contextualized by readings from his letters and critical writings, we explored his piano, vocal and chamber music, including the Andante from his Piano Quartet Op.47, selections from Kreisleriana, a selection of lieder, and the entire Piano Quintet Op.44. A tragic, beautiful life - a musical genius revealed.
