The extraordinary life of Clara Schumann comes vividly to life in this unique blend of words and music created by renowned pianist Lucy Parham.
Clara was more than a devoted wife to the composer, Schumann, she was a groundbreaking musician in her own right.
Her story is fittingly brought to life by two other extraordinary women – the acclaimed actress, Joanna David, who narrates Clara’s story in her own words, and the internationally renowned pianist, Lucy Parham – a Schumann specialist, professor, artistic director, writer, and broadcaster.
Joanna David is a stalwart of screen and stage, known for her TV roles on Downton Abbey and Inspector Morse. She’s matriarch of one of Britain’s most acclaimed acting dynasties – married to Edward Fox, and mother to Emilia and Freddie.
Don’t miss this moving celebration of creativity performed by two exceptional artists.
