MESSIAEN: Quartet for the End of Time
06
Messiaen composed his masterpiece Quartet for the End of Time while imprisoned in a German POW camp. The unusual combination of instruments resulted from the players who were available to him. Both intimate and epic, the work is full of the bird songs which fascinated the composer throughout his life, and also expresses the depth of his faith under the most trying of circumstances.
Hear four remarkable musicians in one of the most profound and transcendent compositions of all time!
There will be no late seating permitted at this event.
