Clara Schumann, virtuose et compositrice

Prodigy pianist, distinctive composer, and major figure of Romanticism, Clara Schumann (1819-1896) established herself from an early age as one of the great artists of her time. An exceptional performer, exacting creator, and woman deeply engaged in musical life, she built an intimate and deeply personal body of work, long overshadowed by her immense career as a pianist.

On the occasion of the 130th anniversary of her passing, this concert invites listeners to rediscover Clara Schumann through her works for violin, cello, and piano, presented alongside pieces by composers in her circle. A program highlighting the affinities, influences, and artistic dialogues that nurtured her journey.

Between intimacy, virtuosity, and creation, this program reveals a composer whose voice, both sensitive and deeply assertive, bears witness to the richness of German Romanticism.

This project brings together teachers and students from the Conservatoire in an approach that is at once artistic, educational, and heritage-focused. It offers young musicians the opportunity to delve into a repertoire still too rarely performed and to share with the audience the discovery of a major artistic personality.
