VIVO Season 10 launches with an evening of music inspired by memory and transformation at Ohio State's beautiful new Timashev Recital Hall. Ravel's limpid Sonata for violin and cello is paired with the complex and enigmatic String Quartet #1 of Donald Harris, former Dean of the OSU School of Music, and Olivier Messaien's mystical Quartet for the end of time, written while the composer was imprisoned at a German concentration camp during the Second World War. From touching homage to radical revision to the illimitable sublime, VIVO Memories will take its listeners on a journey impossible to forget.
Program:
6:15pm - pre-concert discussion
7:00pm - performance
Tickets can be purchased through the VIVO website.
This event is co-sponsored by the French Center of Excellence and School of Music.
