This special performance of Olivier Messiaen’s wartime classic, Quartet for the End of Time, will include projected visual art and lighting during the performance, a presentation of the story of the creation of this dramatic work in a Nazi prison camp in 1940, and videos and photographs showing Messiaen’s direct use of birdsong, color effects, and Catholic imagery and references in his music.

Inara Morgenstern & Victoria Neve, piano with special guest vocalist Ariela Morgenstern present a special Hallowe’en extravaganza, featuring George Crumb’s Eine Kleine Mitternachtmusik along with a seasonal mix of scary pieces for four hands by Gounod, Reineke, Dukas, Schumann, Alfredo Casella, and Toby Twining—with a little extra eeriness from a toy piano!
