Concert: Music for Peace

August 5, 2022 at 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm

Ticketed

Music for Peace features music of Silvestrov, Schoenberg and Messiaen. A program written in war and yearning for peace. Messiaen wrote his Quartet for the End of Time while in a POW camp during WWII, while Schoenberg’s Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte is a biting commentary on not only Napoleon but also Hitler, inspired by a poem by Lord Byron. Silvestrov is a contemporary Ukrainian composer who wrote Epitaphium (L.B.) as an epitaph for his wife. Festival Director Melvin Chen “thought this epitaph was a fitting way of bringing attention to what’s happening there.”

Please note, all patrons must:
Be fully vaccinated for Covid-19 including any booster dose(s) when eligible.
Show their vaccination card and photo ID at the door.
Wear ASTM or N95-equivalent mask at all times inside the building.
