More information: Clara Schumann, supported her husband, Robert Schumann, throughout his life, left us with only a few gems of her own, including this lovely piano trio. American contemporary composer from Davidson N.C., Mary Armstead-Jones, wrote her last romantic composition in 2020 and we are honored to give this piece its world premiere. We end our program with a more atonal piece by three-time Grammy award winner and Pulitzer Prize winner, Jennifer Higdon from New York, called Pale Yellow.
