    The Musical Psycho-graphics of Robert Schumann and Glenn Gould. Discover how madness inspires imagination and torments the soul. Although separated by centuries and continents, Robert Schumann and Glenn Gould shared visionary tendencies of romanticism, modernism, and eccentricity, along with an insatiable musical and intellectual appetite. Inspired by Peter Ostwald's psycho-biographies of Gould and Schumann, we journey into the psyche of these composers through music and anecdotes. The captivating Carpe Diem String Quartet will perform Gould's String Quartet Opus 1, 'So you want to write a fugue?' and the Schumann Piano Quintet.
