Join us to celebrate Boman Desai and his latest novel, Brahms Comes to Dinner, winner of the 2025 Nicholas Schaffner Award for Music in Literature! Set in Germany in the mid-19th century, the novel tells the story of renowned composer Johannes Brahms and his lifelong friendship and love for Clara Schumann, widow of Robert Schumann. The Schumanns were early champions of the young composer, and the novel brings to life the interaction among the three, circling around the intimate dinners Brahms enjoyed as a guest of the Schumanns. Boman Desai has deftly recreated the unrequited love between the younger composer and the widowed Clara, who chose instead to give her life and passion over to memorializing her late husband’s work and art at the expense of her own. We hope you can come out to meet the author and learn more about this fascinating novel!
