MESSIAEN Quartet for the End of Time

Students present this transcendent work, which received its premiere in an overcrowded prisoner-of-war camp in 1941, performed to an audience of guards and prisoners. Scored for an unconventional quartet, the piece was written for Messiaen himself – who played the piano part – and fellow musician inmates.
