After falling in love with a book,

some write fanfiction, others compose symphonic music! On finishing Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Faust, Robert Schumann was so impressed that he set about turning it into music. Nine years’ hard work later, the Scenes from Goethe’s Faust were born. Join us this May to discover this underrated gem which is filled with opera-like drama, and delve into Schumann’s inquisitive and imaginative mind.
