Echoes of Eternity: A Feast for the Senses

Join us on February 6, 2025, at the National Liberal Club for an extraordinary evening of music, history, and artistry. This unforgettable concert will feature the acclaimed Seraphim Trio (Anna Goldsworthy, Helen Ayres, and Timothy Nankervis), joined by guest artist Magdalenna Krstevska on clarinet.

The program showcases two monumental works by French composers that transcend time and place:

• Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time – Composed during his imprisonment in a German concentration camp in World War II, this masterpiece captures the profound depths of human endurance, faith, and transcendence. Its ethereal beauty and spiritual resonance make it one of the most celebrated chamber works of the 20th century.
• Ravel’s Trio for Piano, Violin, and Cello – Written during World War I, this passionate and dynamic trio reflects the turbulence of the times, filled with breathtaking lyricism and striking intensity.

Both works, born out of the darkest periods in modern history, offer an unparalleled feast for the senses, embodying resilience, artistry, and hope.
