Gretchen R. Iben Arts Series Presents:

Dear Robert… My Dearest Clara… “A Love Story”

featuring Pianist SOLEE LEE-CLARK

Watch the Live Recording

We are pleased to have pianist SOLEE LEE-CLARK on September 15.  No other musical couple exemplifies the excitement and drama of the romantic era like Clara and husband Robert Schumann.  No other couple did as much to influence and shape the music of the time.  The Schumanns’ music speaks to us in a timeless universal language.  Their romance is a love story for the ages, while Robert’s ongoing battle with depression, and eventual descent into insantiy, makes their noble, life-affirming creations all the more remarkable.  Join us for a deep exploration into the trials and the triumphs, the love and the madness, the Schumanns and their music.

“Throughout the week, there are many worldly things pulling me away from my commitment to God.  I come to church on Sunday at Westminster to reconnect and renew my relationship with Him.  Part of my worship is to ask him for forgiveness for my lack of faithfulness.  I leave, reminded that he loves me, forgives me, and walks beside me every day.  What a profound blessing that is!”
