Robert and Clara Schumann are one of classical music's "power couples", inspiring each other both as pianists and composers over two decades during their courtship and married life. Tonight, we will hear music from various points in their professional and family lives, including Clara's piano trio, known to have influenced Robert's works in that genre, and Robert's piano quartet, with its piano part inspired by Clara's virtuosity.

Featuring Roman Fraser, violin; Carolyn Farnand, viola; Thomas Beard, cello; Philip Chiu, piano

PROGRAM:
Robert Schumann: Märchenbilder (Fairy Tale Pictures) Op. 113
Clara Schumann: Piano Trio in G minor, Op. 17
Robert Schumann: Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, Op 47
