A Lyrical Interlude

The award-winning Helen Charlston invites us to take a journey into the 18th century with music by Fanny Hensel, Felix Mendelssohn and Carl Loewe leading us to Robert Schumann’s extraordinary song cycle Dichterliebe, where the songs trace the poet’s experience of falling in love, of joy, and of pain. Explore in exquisite detail the themes of love, loss, longing and the power of memory and imagination in shaping one’s experience of love.
