Indulge your palate with a late-morning brunch paired with Clara's most famous Lieder (art songs) and dramatic readings of her impassioned letters with Johannes Brahms.
“I wish I could write to you as tenderly as I love you and tell you all the good things that I wish you.”
“I am waiting for another letter, my Johannes. If only I could find longing as sweet as you do. It only gives me pain an fills my heart with unspeakable woe.”
Young composer, Johannes Brahms fell hopelessly in love with Clara Schumann. But, she was married to and in love with her beloved Robert, one of Brahm’s best friends. When tragedy struck and Robert was confined to the sanitorium and later died, their friendship deepened, as did their love.
