BRAHMS AND THE SCHUMANNS

Higham Hall College Bassenthwaite Lake, Cockermouth, Cumbria, United Kingdom

Johannes Brahms (1833-97) and Robert Schumann (1810-56) were 2 of the greatest composers of the Romantic era. Their lives were intertwined through the remarkable figure of Clara Schumann (1819- 96). We will explore this ‘musical threesome’ through orchestral, chamber and piano music, choral works and songs.
