About
What if you could write a letter… without using words?
Clara and Robert Schumann had found their language: music.
They loved each other, responded to one another, and supported each other. Alongside them, their friend Mendelssohn shared that same passion for creation.
In this concert, the instruments become the voices of these three great musicians. They respond to each other, seek each other out, and find one another again.
A story of love and friendship told through music.
