The year 2019 marks the two hundredth birthday on 13th September of one of the worlds great but relatively unsung composers, Clara Wieck. A child prodigy, by the time she was a teenager she was already renowned as one of the best pianists in all of Europe, owing to the strict guidance of her father, Friedrich Wieck. When Clara was a mere eleven years of age, she attracted the attention of the already famous Robert Schumann (18111856), and one of the most enduring and passionate love stories of all time began. Years of court battles with Claras father prevented their marriage until one day short of her twenty-first birthday in 1840. For the next sixteen years, Clara and Robert supported and inspired each other in their creative endeavors, she mostly as concert pianist (and mother to their eight children, only half of whom survived beyond her lifetime) and he mostly as composer (and occasional conductor). Clara nevertheless continued to compose works that stand alongside those of her husband as equal masterpieces. She outlived her unfortunate husband by forty years, during which she pursued a relentless schedule of concertizing, child rearing, and serving as muse, friend, and advisor to illustrious musicians Johannes Brahms, Joseph Joachim, and others.
THE EMERSON TRIO
Endre Balogh, violin
Antony Cooke, cello
Donna Coleman, piano
The Emerson Trio brings together musicians with long established careers on three continents, whose combined mission is to present the music of American composers in its historical and cultural context alongside works from the traditional chamber music repertory. The trios name is an homage to American Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson whose philosophy and literary discourses influenced the music of Charles Edward Ives.
Donna Coleman's performances of American music earned fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the North Carolina and the Southern Arts Federations, the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Fulbright Foundation, Radcliffe College, and Second Prize in the first John F Kennedy Center International American Music Competition, among others. Her recording of Charles Ives's Concord Sonata received Frances Diapason dOr and Editors Choice, and Christian Tarting's review for Diapason magazine claims, this Second Pianoforte Sonata . . . finds here its most convincing recorded version, due to its assertion, the assurance in its manner of effectively carrying out each detail, its analytical finesse. James North writing for Fanfare found Donna Coleman's performance of Ives's First Sonata is grand and sweeping, strong and confident, filled with charm and overflowing with joy. It immediately becomes my preferred version. A dual US and Australian citizen, for more than two decades Donna inspired Australia

Antony Cooke, author, composer, Hollywood studio musician, cellist, composer, conductor, teacher, and astronomer, began life in Australia, trained principally in London, and built a brilliant career as a cellist in Europe and in the United States where he is also a citizen. In 1971, he became Englands youngest principal cellist, performing regularly as concerto soloist with the London Mozart Players under Harry Blech, then Englands premier chamber orchestra; during this time, he also toured Israel with The London Symphony Orchestra. At the age of twenty-six, Antony was appointed Assistant Professor of Cello and Wind Ensemble Conductor at the University of South Florida. Six years later he accepted the Associate Professorship of Cello in the School of Music Northwestern University. In 1984, he relocated to Los Angeles and quickly established himself as one of the luminaries in the Hollywood recording industry, participating in approximately 1500 movie soundtracks, countless television and record productions, and he composed music for primetime television as well. His many recordings may be heard on the Centaur, PROdigital, and Golden Crest labels, and his compositions are published by Kendor, Studio PR, Kjos Music, and CPP Belwin, Inc. An informal, though intensive background in astronomy has long accompanied his music, and he has written five books on the subject, including the acclaimed Astronomy and the Climate Crisis, all published by the second largest science publisher in the world, Springer. He is also the author of three books about Charles Ives: Charles Ives and His Road to the Stars; Charles Ives's Musical Universe (Infinity Publishing, 2015), which features in-depth analyses of a cross-section of Ives's entire output, substantiated by forensic examination of the composers manuscripts; and Charles Ives: The Making of the Composer, is on track for publication in 2019.
