Ich will keine Pferde oder Diamanten! “I want neither horses nor diamonds!”

This is the name of the programme that chamber choir Frasanti , conducted by Alfrun Schmid, will perform in the English Church at the Begijnhof in Amsterdam.

The word is given to two female composers from the German Romantic period – Clara Schumann, wife of Robert Schumann and Fanny Hensel, sister of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. Both were very talented but had less opportunity for development due to their social obligations as women. Clara and Fanny prove however: Diamonds aren't every girl's best friend! (The reference to the horses will be explained in the programme booklet.)

There will be plenty of music by these two ladies, although Robert and Felix will make an appearance as well!
