(With composer's piano)
Elisabeth Goell, soprano ▪ Lauretta Bloomer, piano
An evening of historic treasure, a unique journey through the life of Clara Schumann, a woman, musician and composer. But it was not only her that had an eventful path, but also her piano. This piano found its way to Convoy House in Co. Donegal, Ireland, situated between the seaports of Rathmelton and Derry. This was due to the engagement of Fanny Montgomery, Convoy House, to a colonel from Dresden in the mid nineteenth century.
It is this piano and the songs Clara Schumann composed on it that you are privileged to hear tonight, each song with a short caption in English that will allow unimpeded enjoyment.
“one of those combinations of poetry, music and performance which leaves speechless†Irish Times
Sponsored by Dominican College Sion Hill, Dublin; Let's Go Singing Studio, Dublin
