Three quarters of an hour of free chamber music, at lunchtime, with a presenter to break the ice and a Q&A session after—this concert has “outreach” stamped all over it. But the story of Robert and Clara Schumann is the great romantic tragedy in classical music. For Robert, it ended in madness and death at age 46. Nine years his junior, Clara lived to the age of 76, after a rockstar career as a pianist that lasted 61 years. She was a composer, too (a greater one than Robert, Robert sometimes suggested), but that was a light she mostly hid under a bushel. In this brief introduction to the couple and their work, her little-known songs get equal time with the exquisite miniatures of his Märchenbilder (Pictures from Fairy Tales). —Matthew Gurewitsch
