Quartet for the end of time, O. Messiaen

About the Event

Immerse yourself in the stunning architecture of Florence's breathtaking Palazzo Corsini al Prato — Fondazione Mascarade Opera for the ultimate concert set to awake your understanding of classical music.

Quartet for the End of Time is an eight‐movement chamber work by French composer Olivier Messiaen. The work is written for clarinet (in B‐flat), violin, cello, and piano. Messiaen wrote the work while he was a prisoner of war in Germany, and it was first performed by his fellow prisoners. It is generally considered one of his most important works.

All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee) in support of relief operations in Turkey and Syria.
Generously joining forces Locale Firenze will be sponsoring the concert in aid of DEC and offering cocktails and light refreshments to guests from 6pm in the Corsini garden, with Villa Le Corti, Amaro Santoni and San Pellegrino. The one‐hour concert starts at 7pm.
