Music Educates - Schubert and More

Robert Schumann’s *Fantasiestücke*, Op. 73, and Clara Schumann’s *Three Romances*, Op. 22, are performed in varying combinations featuring the clarinet and cello – linked by the piano and by that uniquely ethereal, poetic soundscape which unites the music of the two Schumanns.

In between, another timbre emerges: songs by Franz Schubert. Žilvinas Brazauskas, who will be performing not only as a clarinettist but also as a singer this evening, interprets them accompanied by cello and piano. Thus, song and chamber music, voice and instrument come together – very much in the spirit of ‘Schubert & More’.

After the interval, the programme features Johannes Brahms’ Trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano in A minor, Op. 114 – one of the great late chamber music works of the Romantic period. Intimate and darkly luminous, yet full of warmth and expansiveness, it brings the three instruments together in an intense musical dialogue.

Konzertleben e.V. is committed to promoting young musicians and provides performance opportunities as well as structural support within the concert sector.
