When Robert and Clara met Felix and Fanny

(and Frédéric)

Robert and Clara Schumann were close friends of Felix Mendelssohn and his sister, Fanny and all four were composers and performers. Brian David (our long-term programme-note writer) examines the complex dynamics of this friendship and those within the wider circle, which included a rather ambiguous and often misinterpreted relationship between Robert Schumann and Frédéric Chopin.

“People are taught to have too much respect for music. They should be taught to love it instead“, said Stravinsky. If anyone broadcasting today could be said to have fostered a love of music, it is Donald Macleod, host of Radio 3’s Composer of the Week since 1999, and a loyal friend of the Tetbury Music Festival.

We are grateful to welcome Donald back to Tetbury to engage the Festival performers in conversation for a few minutes at each concert, so that we can hear from them their thoughts and insights on the music they have chosen to perform.
