These quintessential Romantics; Johannes Brahms, Robert Schumann, and Clara Schumann, were not only profoundly expressive throughout their compositional output, but were also deeply affectionate in their own personal lives, savoring tender feelings of passion and love. Robert’s wife, Clara, was perhaps the most influential pianist of her generation, and a masterful composer in her own right. She maintained a close friendship with Brahms throughout her life, and especially after the passing of her husband in a psychiatric asylum at the age of 46. The richness of their musical language of these three composers, their shared life experiences, and the profound effects they had on the arts as a whole, are especially pronounced in a piano trio setting. Join violinist Zino Bogachek, cellist Loewi Lin, and pianist Christopher Schmitt in a performance of works by these three composers, celebrating what it is to be a Romantic.
