On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Clara Schumann, the 10th Season of the Chelsea Music Festival honors the legacy and contributions of a pioneering performer, caring collaborator and artistic confidant. Placing Clara Schumann as compass and inspration, the Festival will feature music ranging from baroque to jazz, present New York & World Premieres of commissions written by exciting female composers, and launch 10 days of events throughout the Chelsea neighborhood and beyond, with galas, family events and programming featuring our signature combination of the performing, culinary & visual arts.
