"The work is clear, something rarely seen; it demonstrates a calm mastery of the formal artistic medium that we would not have expected of a woman composer."
- Neue Berliner Musikzeitung

This program's centrepiece is the ferocious and intensely romantic Piano Trio of Clara Schumann, which is regarded by many as her most mature work. Clara wrote the work in 1846, at the age of 25, after giving birth to her fourth child. The work was intended to be dedicated to her friend and fellow composer Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, but Fanny died before its completion, and the work has no dedication.


This program's centrepiece is the ferocious and intensely romantic Piano Trio of Clara Schumann, which is regarded by many as her most mature work. From the opposite side of the spectrum, David Lang’s 'wed', from his 'memory pieces', is a haunting ode to joy and looming sadness, while Stuart Greenbaum's '800 million heartbeats' grapples with the nominal number attributed to a creature's lifespan. The concept and the work act as "a heightened metaphor for life, measured in heartbeats, and the journeys that fill its course". The program opens with an arrangement of the sumptuous art-song 'After a Dream' by French romantic master of melody Gabriel Fauré.
