Created by Lucy Parham to celebrate 200 years since Clara Schumann’s birth in 1819, I, Clara tells her extraordinary life story in her own words.

The narrative of I, Clara, drawn from letters and diaries, is interspersed with live performances of Clara and Robert Schumann, Brahms, Mendelssohn and Chopin by renowned pianist Lucy Parham.
