CCM Family Series!  “They belong only to us” was Clara Schumann’s response upon first listening to Robert Schumann’s Kindersezen, “Scenes from Childhood”, alluding to the tenderness of childhood remembrances and music as a shared experience.

CCM piano faculty member Kitty Cheung-Evans presents Robert Schumann’s Kinderszenen, “Scenes from Childhood” and prompts young listeners to use their creative agency in this participatory event. Song titles such as “Dreaming” and “Of Distant Lands” not only inspire the imaginations of today’s youth, but also kindle affectionate sentiments of childhood for adults, connecting listeners of all ages with the art of musical interpretation.

Pre-Concert Adventure: Bringing Schumann’s Childhood to Life!
