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
