Written during the composer’s imprisonment in a German POW camp, Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time is a testament to hope and transcendence in the face of unimaginable hardship. Its ethereal colours, spiritual intensity, and moments of profound stillness have made it a touchstone for generations of listeners.
In dialogue with Messiaen’s masterpiece, we will premiere a new work by Arthur Keegan, commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society. Keegan’s composition takes Messiaen’s ideas of eternity and renewal as a starting point, creating a contemporary reflection on faith, fragility, and the passing of time.
Together, these two works offer a powerful evening of music that reaches beyond time — where sound becomes remembrance, renewal and hope.
