Symphony Space says…

Featuring pianists Michael Boriskin, Tanya Bannister, Rorianne Schrade, Soyeon Lee, and Judith Gordon; mezzo-soprano Krista River; tenor Robert Swensen; soprano Sarah Wolfson; violinist Asmira Woodward-Page; violist Jennifer Stumm; and cellist Rhonda Rider.

Schumann’s bicentennial is marked by this mini-marathon exploring the breadth of this quintessentially Romantic composer’s oeuvre, including some of the best-known works: Piano Quartet, Op. 47; Frauenliebe und leben; Symphonic Etudes, Op. 13; Lieder und Gesange aus Wilhelm Meister, Op. 98A; Carnaval, Op. 9; Fünf Stücke im Volkston, Op. 102; Marchenbilder, Op. 113; and more.  An opening panel discussion with performers and music historians gives insight into the remarkably fertile yet troubled mind of this singular composer.

In collaboration with Concert Artists Guild
