The Florian Ensemble are joined by clarinettist Jessie Grimes for Olivier Messiaen’s seminal Quartet for the End of Time. Written and premiered in a prisoner of war camp in 1941, the music is a meditation on eternity and is always an unforgettably powerful live experience.

We are thrilled to be teaming up with Art for Life for this event, bringing local artists’ responses to Messiaen’s music to a small exhibition and drinks reception before the performance. The music will begin shortly before twilight and will end after the sun has set.
