Messiaen

Visions de l’Amen for two pianos

Marilyn Nonken, piano; Sarah Rothenberg, piano

Olivier Messiaen’s great religious piano cycle was first performed by the composer and his student and future wife Yvonne Loriod in a semi-secret art gallery concert in Nazi-occupied Paris.

Artistic Director Sarah Rothenberg, who studied the music of Messiaen with Loriod in Paris, is joined by Marilyn Nonken, the contemporary music virtuoso who made an outstanding Da Camera debut in 2007.

The Rothko Chapel is transformed into an intimate concert venue for Da Camera's unique music series. Artistic Director Sarah Rothenberg frequently creates concert events for Menil Collection exhibitions, such as Hommage a Max Ernst: A Musical Collage, November 18.

New date: Please note this concert was rescheduled from December 9, 2008. We regret any inconvenience this may cause.
