with HPO Composer-in-Residence Abigail Richardson-Schulte
HPO Composer-in-Residence Abigail Richardson-Schulte shares the fascinating journey and impact of Schubert, with piano demonstrations of some of his most significant works. Active in the late Classical and early Romantic eras, Schubert is perhaps best known as the composer of Ave Maria. He was a prodigious composer, crafting seven symphonies, over 600 vocal works, and a large collection of piano and chamber compositions before his death at age 31.
Award-winning composer Abigail Richardson-Schulte was born in Oxford, England, and moved to Canada as a child. Her music has been commissioned and performed by major orchestras, presenters, music festivals and broadcasters including the Festival Présences of Paris.
