Music for Eternity.

Vetta Chamber Music presents its fourth concert of the 2023-24 season, Music for Eternity, at West Point Grey United Church on March 8 at 2 pm, West Vancouver United Church on March 9 at 7:30 pm, Pyatt Hall on March 10 at 2 pm, and ArtSpring on March 11 at 2:30 pm.

Music for Eternity explores how humans experience time, opening with American composer John Mackey’s Breakdown Tango. Just seven minutes long, the peculiar tango appears to slow down the clock with exceeding virtuosity.

The program moves to Johannes Brahms’s romantic Clarinet Trio in A minor, Op. 114, and concludes with Olivier Messiaen’s ethereal Quartet for the End of Time, written and performed by inmates at the German prisoner-of-war camp Stalag VIII-A in 1941.

The concert features the return of cellist Ariel Barnes and clarinetist Jose Franch-Ballester, alongside violinist Joan Blackman and pianist Jane Hayes.

Tickets and details are at Vetta Chamber Music.
