Robert Schumann was more than just a great composer. He was also a gifted pianist, writer, and a true embodiment of the Romantic era — a time which championed individuality, beauty, emotion and storytelling. His own life played out like a Romantic narrative: deeply in love with Clara Wieck — a brilliant pianist and composer herself — he fought tirelessly to marry her despite fierce opposition.

Join us in this new chapter of conductor and presenter Jason Lai’s celebrated The Other Side of... concert series featuring star pianist Colleen Lee, and together we will delve into the extraordinary life and music of Schumann — his passion, his struggles, and his enduring influence on the world of music.

Programme includes orchestral works by Schumann, Clara Schumann and Brahms.
