A song recital celebrating the music of Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel and her 19th century contemporaries in Europe and the U.S.
About this Event

Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel was an extraordinary pianist and prolific composer who was discouraged from pursuing a professional career in music because she was a woman. In 1831, she began hosting her own Sunday musicales—the Sonntagsmusiken—with an impressive guest list of composers, writers, and performers. This program explores works by Fanny and her musicale attendees, including Clara and Robert Schumann and Franz Liszt, as well as contemporaries in other parts of Europe and the U.S. Featured performers include Amanda Densmoor, Justin Harrison, Erin Ridge, and pianist Patricia McKewen Amato.
