The trio begins with a gorgeous work by Robert Schumann, and then end the program and the Festival with the dream-like landscapes and apocalyptic visions of Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time - arguably one of the greatest works of the 20th century. 

As they play, paintings by artist Stephen Hutchings, which were inspired by this music and which address such issues as temporality and eternity, will be projected above them. 

R. Schumann: Piano Trio No. 2 in F major, Op. 80

O. Messiaen: Quartet for the End of Time

 Accompanied by paintings from the Landscapes for the End of Time series by artist  Stephen Hutchings
