7:30 pm

One composer's fight from darkness into one of the most joyous finales ever written.

Step inside the passionate, poetic world of Robert Schumann. Written as the composer fought his way back from the edge of collapse, his Second Symphony surges out of shadow into one of the most hard-won, joyous finales ever composed — music about survival, from a man who lived it.
