The Schumann Connection - presents works by Schumann and Mendelssohn, who shared a close personal and profesisonal friendship. They showed mutual admiration and support for each other's works throughout their careers. Added to this program is a rare outing for the Phantasie by English composer Alice Verne-Bredt. Her sisters Mathilde and Mary were piano students of Schumann's wife, Clara, and Alice herself (as was another sister Adela) was taught by the Schumanns' daughter Marie.
