Starting in mid-December, the gift shop in the Grassi museum and the shop at the Buch-museum will also be selling “Clara’s Bouquet”. Starting in January 2019 with their Clara-Schumann-series, in the White House Markkleeberg, the Neue Leipziger Chopin-Gesellschaft e.V. (New Leipzig Chopin Society) (“Herfurthsche Hausmusik”) will have the flower mixture for sale as well (price: ca. 2 euro).

“Clara’s Bouquet” is supported by the city council on cultural affairs, the department of international cooperation of the city of Leipzig, the Leipzig Gewandhaus, Rahn Education, the SMOW GmbH, as well as Leipzig Tourismus und Marketing GmbH (LTM).

The idea for this charming initiative accompanying this anniversary year comes from Clara’s flower diaries, in which the pianist and composer collected and pressed flowers and bouquets, which were connected with memories and concert notes. On the occasion of Breitkopf & Härtel’s 300^thbirthday, the Berlin flower diary will be released in a new edition at the 2019 Leipzig book fair.
