Works by Robert Schumann

0 upcoming performances in New York

“Works by Robert Schumann” brings chamber music into focus at David Geffen Hall, with New York Philharmonic musicians joined by I-Jung Huang, Lisa GiHae Kim, Leah Ferguson, and Vivek Kamath. Schumann wrote in the pressure-cooker decades before the American Civil War, reshaping intimate forms into psychological narratives that can turn on a single gesture. His music has been part of New York’s concert life since the 19th century, a steady presence as the city’s institutions formed around the German repertory. The earned truth is that these pieces feel most legible at close range, where shifts in mood register as structure.
