The Performance

Did you know that the early Romantic-Era composers, Mendelssohn and Schumann, knew one another and worked closely together? Mendelssohn programmed and conducted Schumann’s music. Schumann wrote about Mendelssohn’s genius. Aside from being remarkable trendsetters and revolutionaries whose work benefitted the future of classical music, these two composers had fascinating personal lives that include legendary stories you won’t want to miss. Last of all, Composer Abigail Richardson-Schulte shares some thoughts about her world premiere, Snow is Sleeping Water, and takes questions about being a composer today.
