This concert series is an opportunity for them to shine in front of an audience, albeit online.

This... recital features two duets from Felix Mendelssohn’s Opus 63 Six Duets (1844), and the entirety of Frauenliebe und Leben (A Woman's Life and Love) by Robert Schumann (1840). The song cycle describes the course of a woman meeting, falling in love with, marrying, and being widowed by the love of her life. These stages of love are beautifully paralleled through the theme of nature as it evolves through different seasons. Produced by: Megan Dufton 2021 Conrad Grebel University College
