The centre-piece of this concert is Olivier Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time, one of the most emotionally wrenching and spiritually reflective works written for chamber group. Written for the unusual combination of piano, violin, cello and clarinet, the work received its first performance outside in the rain in a German prisoner of war camp in 1941 on a collection of damaged instruments. This reflective programme also features a performance by Camerata's principal cellist, Hannah Roberts, of Bach's D minor Cello Suite, and a new chamber work by Camerata's composer in residence.
