In an era when women, apart from singers, almost never performed in public or composed, Clara Schumann did both.

In commemoration of the Clara Schumann’s 200th birth anniversary this 2019, the Goethe-Institut is staging a multi-faceted concert on the life, time and works of the celebrated Romantic musician.

In partnership with the University of Santo Tomas’ (UST) Conservatory of Music, the concert features German musicians Boris Schönleber (piano) and Katharina Padrok (soprano), as well as performers from the university, Peter Porticos (actor) and Mary Patrice Pacis (actress). Alongside Clara Schumann’s works, the concert highlights German poetry and contains theatrical performances chronicling important events in her life.

 

 

The concert is set for Wednesday, October 16 at the UST Museum. Registration starts at 5:30pm and the concerts starts at 6pm. The guest musicians will also give a voice workshop for selected participants at the UST on October 17.

Admission is FREE! For RSVPs, please send an email to info-manila@goethe.de

See you there!
