About the Event
Join us for a site-responsive performance centered on Olivier Messiaen’s Quatuor pour la fin du temps, presented inside the Lakewood Memorial Chapel.
About the Program
Our program places the quartet within a larger contemporary frame, extending its emotional and spiritual world through electronic sound and a performance by PULL.
The evening is structured as an experience rather than a standard recital — one that holds space for the work beyond the concert format, engaging its core ideas of harmonic stasis, eternity, and the suspension of time.
The program emphasizes lineage: the quartet as a spiritual ancestor to contemporary sound practices.
