Kamermuziek with Bella Adamova
Light and darkness intertwine in this evocative chamber music concert. Robert Schumann’s Piano Quintet dedicated to his wife Clara, captures the passionate highs and deep lows of his life. Marion von Tilzer gives voice to Vilma Grunwald’s final letter from Auschwitz, its resignation echoed by mezzo-soprano Bella Adamova. Dutch composer Henriëtte Bosmans’ lyrical String Quartet, written before the Second World War upended her life, completes the programme. Subdued, poignant, yet impetuous, this concert invites reflection and stirs the soul.
