Composers In Love: Encore Performance Valentine's Day Eve

'The remarkable Clara Wieck was the creative partner of two men, Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms. She was remarkable for a number of reasons…. She was unique in her time for being a thorough professional, and a working wife and mother, in an age when musical talent in a female was regarded only as an asset in the marriage market! She had extraordinary sense and stability which sustained her through many personal and artistic crises, and she was a pianist of exceptional gifts, regarded and acknowledged as the peer of Franz Liszt, Thalberg and Anton Rubenstein.

The story of her love affair with Robert, and her close friendship with Brahms will be played out in the 'Composers in Love' programme at The Hamilton Conservatory for the Arts on Sunday February 13th at 2 pm - a great way to welcome in Valentine's Day!!

Internationally renowned pianist Valerie Tryon will perform some of the most beloved and romantic works of both composers, whilst Robert Latimer-Cornell, Jacqui Templeton Muir and Aubrey Boothman relate the story of the 'eternal triangle'!'

Tickets available at the door. Tickets $27–regular, $22- senior, $15 – student
