Clara Schumann 200th Anniversary Concert

2019 marks the 200th anniversary of nineteenth century German Romantic composer and pianist Clara Schumann. Widely recognised for her virtuosity as a performer, influential pedagogy as a teacher, and success as a female composer, the impact of Clara Schumann’s work within the Western musical canon has been immense. In September we will participate in worldwide celebrations of her 200th Birthday, with a program dedicated entirely to her works, honouring her accomplishments and influence.

Inspired by Clara’s own practices to advance the concert format during her time, our vision is to create a one-of-a-kind event that will re-invent traditional formats into something accessible, enriching and engaging to a wider and contemporary audience.
