In this beautifully intimate setting, internationally renowned pianist Lucy Parham joins forces with award-winning actor Dame Harriet Walter (Ted Lasso, Succession) to perform I, Clara: Clara Schumann – A Life in Music.
Clara Schumann, a ground-breaking musician, was far more than the devoted wife of composer Robert Schumann.
As a virtuoso performer, she enjoyed a 60-year career, giving more than 1500 concerts and shaping the piano recital as we know it today.
I, Clara tells her extraordinary life story in her own words. Its narrative, drawn from letters and diaries, is complemented by live performances of works by Clara and by her contemporaries – Robert Schumann, Brahms, Liszt, Mendelssohn and Chopin.
