Richardson Chamber Players; "Art & Memory"
Sponsored by: Princeton University Concerts.
Part of "MEMORY AND THE WORK OF ART"
www.princeton.edu/memory
Princeton's resident ensemble of performance faculty, distinguished guest artists and supremely talented students play works by Ravel, Chausson and Messiaen. A highlight of this concert will be Messiaen's "Quartet for the End of Time," written in 1940 while the composer was in captivity in a stalag in Silesia. In a triumph of the human spirit, the composer survived, as did his composition. Overcoming the worst degradation human beings can devise to create everlasting beauty? Priceless.
