It has been 100 years since the infamous singer/pianist/composer
Pauline Viardot (née García) passed away and 200
years since the great Robert Schumann was born. How do the two
intersect? For one, Mme. Viardot was a close girlfriend of Schumann’s
wife Clara. And Brahms, close friend of both Herr und Frau Schumann,
persuaded her to sing in the first performance of his Alto Rhapsody.
We are thrilled that these two figures will meet on the Off Centre
stage in a simultaneous Commemoration/Birthday bash “attended”
by the likes of Clara Schumann, Brahms, Mendelssohn and Chopin.
Hosting the “party” are our very own Inna Perkis and
Boris Zarankin, soprano Shannon Mercer, mezzo Wallis Giunta and
violinist Marie Bérard.
