Yshani Perinpanayagam Music for My Stolen Breath
Brahms String Sextet no 2 in G major op 36
In the first of this season's Chamber Spotlight events, RCM musicians explore music of catharsis in a programme of music by Yshani Perinpanayagam and Brahms.
Yshani Perinpanayagam is a musical polymath: a versatile pianist whose work embraces composition and music direction. In Music for My Stolen Breath she offers a moving insight into her response to racism.
Brahms found catharsis of his own through his String Sextet no 2, in which he enshrined his feelings for two of the women in his life: Agathe von Siebold and Clara Schumann.
