Overview

Stefan Heucke’s 2021 work links together Clara and Robert Schumann with Johannes Brahms, who entered their lives in 1853, three years before Robert’s death in 1856, and who would remain close to Clara until her own death in 1896, just one year before his own.

This concert is part of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust ticket scheme, offering free tickets to those aged 8-25
