Songs and confessions

Following the visit of Music Centre scholars to the University of Bonn last autumn,
we are delighted to welcome Bonn's Music Director Jörg Ritter and his colleagues
to give this special performance exploring the complex and interwoven personal
and musical lives of Robert and Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms, all brought
to life through their songs and excerpts from diaries and letters. Students from
the University's German Department have been working under the direction of
Professor Seřn Allan to provide translations of the texts to be performed.
