Add to my Calendar 21-10-2021 20:15 21-10-2021 22:15 36 Oxford Lieder Festival: Karthäuser/Loges/Asti: A Schumanniade A top trio of artists perform songs and duets by Robert and Clara Schumann. The centrepiece of the programme is Robert Schumann’s Kerner Lieder, shared between both singers. These songs were the first written after his long-thwarted marriage to Clara and represent an important stylistic change from the songs written in the fraught build-up to the marriage; more introspective and in places unbearably poignant. Alongside this cycle, they include some of Clara Schumann’s songs, which now occupy a justly popular place in the song canon, and several duets. All evening concerts this year are performed twice, at 5.30pm and 8.15pm. This 8.15pm performance is a repeat performance of Event 89. This performance will be in-person and livestreamed. Enjoy the whole festival live online for £165 with a Digital Festival Pass. All events will be available on demand after broadcast until 30th November, so you can catch up at a time which suits you.
