We warmly welcome you to join us for an evening of live chamber music & dialogue with psychoanalytic colleagues & world class musicians, followed by a dessert reception. French composer Olivier Messiaen’s apocalyptic Quatuor pour la fin du Temps “Quartet for the End of Time” premiered on January 15, 1941, in the desolate German prison camp, Stalag VIIIA. Composed and rehearsed in captivity, then performed for an audience of both inmates and prison guards, the Quartet is among the great chamber works in the western musical repertoire. A remarkable story of courage and transformational creativity. Inspired by the Book of Revelation, the composition strives for transcendence toward eternity.

Musical duets by Estonian composer, Helena Tulve, and Arnold Schoenberg, who emigrated from Austria to United States during the war, complement and resonate with Messiaen’s  masterpiece.  Listening together in community will enhance capacities for “not knowing,” staying with, or reflecting on complex somato-sensory experiences and interpretative meaning making in clinical and musical settings.
