Two exquisite song cycles depict radically different views of a woman’s life, a century apart. Robert Schumann, composing in the creative burst that follows his marriage to the pianist and composer Clara Wieck, creates one of his most beautiful works, telling the story of “a woman’s life and loves.” How does it match up with Clara Wieck Schumann’s real life as artist, wife and mother?
Jennifer Johnson Cano will be the mezzo-soprano singer; Sarah Rothenberg will lead the piano, concept and direction.
