Orli Shaham: In Clara’s Hands

PIANO DIALOGUES
The pianist Orli Shaham, hailed for her grace, subtlety and brilliance, performs the full range of music by Clara Schumann. Schumann was a rock star pianist of her day who set new standards for virtuosity and the modern piano recital while building her husband’s reputation, raising eight children and composing significant works of her own. Shaham will be joined by musicologist Sarah Fritz, author of a new book on Clara Schumann, Madame Composer. Also, the Juilliard String Quartet joins Shaham for Robert Schumann’s Piano Quintet, a work Clara championed throughout her life. Join us for an evening celebrating the great musician’s remarkable life, legacy and music.
