Following their Irish debut at the Whyte Recital Hall in August 2025, the Glamorgan Duo returns to Dublin with a programme of rarely performed works for cello and piano. Pianist and Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Music, Dr Cheryl Tan, is joined by guest cellist Tabitha Selley for this recital at Trinity College Dublin, featuring music by Clara Schumann, Robert Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn, Felix Mendelssohn, and Louise Farrenc.
Building on Dr Tan's Research Ireland project, Revisiting Clara Wieck-Schumann: Virtuosity, Identity, and Lost Repertory, the programme explores nineteenth-century musical culture through the artistic networks of Clara Schumann (1819-1896), tracing a journey from Leipzig - her birthplace - to Paris, home to Louise Farrenc and one of the great centres of nineteenth-century concert culture.
