Clara Schumann im Spiegel ihrer Freundinnen und Zeitgenossen

A moderated concert with works by Pauline Viardot-García, Clara Schumann, Frédéric Chopin, Johannes Brahms and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.

Pauline Viardot-García was a close, almost lifelong friend of Clara Schumann. The two brilliant artists described themselves as "the oldest friends of the century". They performed together, met on concert tours in Russia, France and elsewhere, and both lived for a time in the fashionable spa town of Baden-Baden.

To mark Viardot-García's 204th birthday, works from her and Clara Schumann's circle will be performed by Christine Reber (soprano) and Babette Hierholzer (piano and hand double of Nastassja Kinski in the Schamoni film "Spring Symphony").
