Thursday, 7 – 8 pm, March 24th – The German Virtuosa
Inside the Life and Times of Clara Schumann

She was not only a divine pianist, talented composer and successful teacher, but also a mother of 8 and the main breadwinner for her family.  In the very male dominated 19th century, German superwoman Clara Schumann did it all while juggling a 61 year concert career that made her internationally famous.
Join German historian Anette Isaacs for an intimate look at the life of the exceptional Clara Virtuosa!

Advance registration is required. Register with the Des Plaines Public Library to receive the Zoom meeting link.
