Step into a world of musical intimacy with Julian Schwarz as he brings his mastery of the cello to create a captivating experience at Scout Hall on Saturday, April 20.
Performing what musicians consider one of the most remarkable pieces of chamber music ever written — Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time (Quatuor pour la fin du temps), composed by a Prisoner of War and first performed for prisoners and guards in a German prison camp during World War II — Julian will engage the audience in a master class conversation about this piece’s place in history and musical canons after his performance.
Heralded from a young age as a cellist destined to rank among the greatest of the 21st Century, Julian’s powerful tone, effortless virtuosity and vast color palette are hallmarks of his style.
