Event Description: Olivier Messiaen: Quartet for the End of Time

Concert presented by Azure Quartet – Thomas Knollys (clarinet); Elana Kenyon-Gewirtz (violin); Hoda Jahanpour (cello); and Joel Banerjee (piano)

There are very few pieces in the Western classical music canon comparable to the Quartet for the End of Time. This rarely heard piece was written in Stalag VIII-A, a German prisoner-of-war camp during WWII where Messiaen was imprisoned. Its unspeakable circumstances and infinite subject matters culminate in one of the masterpieces of the Twentieth century
