Concert 3 - Forties
Sunday 23 May 2021 at 11am
Our 1940s concert takes us to the stars and back. Weinberg’s clarinet sonata glances at Shostakovich, before a detour to the Golden Age of Hollywood. Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time provides a last word on these tumultous decades, and on music’s great power of transcendence.
