How to cherish the deepest love by music?
Clara Schumann was a remarkable pianist and composer of the 19th century with talent and virtue. She expressed support for the music career of her husband Robert Schumann devotedly. However, years of hardship gradually eroded Schuman’s spirit and love between the two was shattered. At this time, talented student Johannes Brahms took Schumann as teacher, which made the relationship of the three more subtle. How to cherish the deepest love by music? Macao Orchestra is going to collaborate with MGM Cotai for the first time to hold Artist Salon, Piano in Love, in BAR PATUÁ. Lio Kuokman, a brilliant local conductor, is invited to share the immortal much-told stories between Clara Schumann, Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms with music aficionados.
