A rare opportunity to encounter one of the twentieth century’s great visionary masterworks: Olivier Messiaen’s Visions de l’Amen, performed by Coady Green and Marc Peloquin on two pianos. Composed during the Second World War, this vast, mystical meditation moves from creation and love to judgment and eternity, revealing Messiaen as theologian, mystic, and ecstatic colourist. The program opens with Delphi Songs by Meta Cohen, performed by Jessica Aszodi and Coady Green, a haunting cycle inspired by prophecy and the final Oracle of Delphi, whose voice foretold the end of her own sacred order. Spanning millennia, Cohen’s work contemplates revelation, authority, and the fading boundary between divine utterance and human mortality.
