Prologue & Epilogues: Israel Moves On
Tuesday, October 28, 2008 8:00 pm
We continue the celebration of Israel's 60th with a performance of Olivier Messiaen's beloved Quartet for the End of Time. Written in the German POW camp Stalag VIII-A, Messiaen's work flew in the face of Nazi oppression. A group of top Israeli and French musicians including clarinetist Charles Neidich along with Moran Katz, clarinet; Arnaud Sussman, violin; Gal Nyska, cello and Vincent Sangare Balse, piano, will honor the composer's centenary alongside music of Israeli composers Ben-Haim, Weisenberg and Zorman, who have upheld Messiaen's humanitarian spirit.
Single tickets: $30 (members $20)
This concert is co-sponsored by the America-Israel Cultural Foundation in honor of Israel’s 60th Birthday. To learn more about AICF and their scholarship recipients performing in this concert, please visit their website.
