Event Details
Art triumphs over adversity in the dark night of the soul. Clarinettist Jonathan Cohen joins the celebrated NZ Trio for a meditative journey through one of Messiaenās earliest masterworks at Auckland Town Hall.
Composed and premiered whilst Messiaen was interned at a prisoner of war camp during WWII, this evocative work transcends time and space, and is filled with the jubilant song of birds flying free from captivity.
