Be transported to the sinister times of World War II with an amazing musical experience. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to hear Messiaen's 'Quartet for the End of Time' in an authentic setting, akin to it's premiere in a prisoner of war camp.

Captured by the German army during World War II, Messiaen was held as a prisoner of war. While in transit to the prisoner of war camp, Messiaen showed fellow musical prisoners his sketches for solo clarinet (Abyss of Birds) and Violin, Cello & Clarinet (Interlude) which they approved of and eventually developed into the Quartet with Messiaen on piano.

The quartet was premiered in Stalag VIII-A in Görlitz, Germany (currently Zgorzelec, Poland) on January 15 1941, to an audience comprising around four hundred fellow prisoners of war and prison guards. Messiaen later recalled of the occasion, "Never was I listened to with such rapt attention and comprehension."

At the same time, the Jersey War Tunnels were being planned. Under the German occupiers, slave labourers were shipped to Jersey from Spain, France, Poland and Germany. They removed 14,000 tons of rock and used 4,000 tons of concrete to create an astounding complex of underground corridors.

With their stunning dance routines, Ola and James have dazzled television audiences for the last five series of the Strictly Come Dancing. Now they've created their own live routines which take the breath away with the drama, sensuality and elegance of this most exciting of dance form.
