Spring with Beethoven and the Schumanns

Book your tickets for the final concerts of Ashuelot Concerts season! Experience an enchanting afternoon of live chamber music for piano and strings in the comfortable surroundings of the Park Theatre in Jaffrey. This program features pieces by both Clara and Robert Schumann, a renowned 19th-century musical couple whose lives and works heavily influenced Romantic-era music. Clara, a virtuosic pianist and composer, balanced a wildly successful concert career with raising their 8 children, while also steadfastly championing Robert’s compositions. Robert, a visionary composer, was inspired by Clara and composed prolifically in the years after their wedding. Robert struggled with mental illness throughout his life and suffered a tragic early death, after which Clara promoted his music and continued her concert tours in Europe for decades. We look forward to sharing their story with you through Clara's Three Romances and Robert's Violin Sonata No. 2 in D minor! Beethoven’s Violin Sonata in F affectionately known as the “Spring” Sonata, is one of his most beloved chamber works. It embodies a sense of lyricism, warmth, and balance, making it a favorite among both performers and audiences. We would be honored to have you join us for this beautiful, moving program.
