Schumann Festival: Chamber Music with Alisa Weilerstein and Houston Symphony Musicians

The third performance of our Chamber Music Series, part of the Houston Symphony’s two-week Schumann Festival, takes place at Zilkha Hall at the Hobby Center on Valentine’s Day. The program features a small ensemble of Houston Symphony musicians and Alisa Weilerstein (cello) in Schumann’s most romantic works.
