News ELMIRA, N.Y. (WENY) -- Elmira's Cantata Singers will take part in the Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes' Schumann Festival this weekend through their upcoming concert "Music in March." With the Schumanns' great-great-grandson as a member of the group, the choir will honor the Schumann Family's contributions to the music and arts industries. "Clara Schumann is a big part of the reason [why] we have piano recitals these days; [she] was probably the greatest pianist of her generation," said Will Wickham, the director and composer for the Cantata Singers.
