Note from the host: "Two of the greatest composers of the Romantic era – Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann – shared many things in common, including their deep love for the great pianist and composer Clara Schumann, who remained a source of inspiration in their works throughout both their tumultuous lives. Violinists Rebecca Benjamin and Hosanna Carella, together with pianist Anna Han, will be performing heartfelt and poignant duos composed by all three musical giants.
"We have been so fortunate to have been quarantined together for the past couple weeks and explore music with others, at long last! It's Rebecca and Hosanna's first Groupmuse performance and we all are so excited to share these incredible works from some of our favorite composers."
The livestream will take place at 6pm Eastern / 3pm Pacific. Broadcasting live from Cleveland, OH.
