They mixed on equal and intimate terms with contemporaries including Weber, Meyerbeer and Liszt. This programme explores the musical world of the Baermanns, in which sounds can paint pictures, music can tell stories and instruments can sing like the human voice. Come and relax with a stein of beer while you enjoy the most charming, affecting and exhilarating music the Romantic period can offer, with a smattering of nineteenth-century musical gossip along the way!
