Fri 20 Jun 7:30pm at Town Hall
The Conservatoire’s end of year concert celebrates the centenary of the birth of Olivier Messiaen in tremendous style, while marking the end of the New Generation Arts Festival and the start of Messiaen 2008, a
weekend of concerts and a major international conference devoted to the composer, hosted by Birmingham Conservatoire. Ranging
from his first published orchestral work, the remarkable Les Offrandes oubliées, written when he was just twenty-one years old, to the
musical souvenirs of Japan of Sept Haïkaï, the evening provides a glimpse of the diversity of Messiaen’s music.
