Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant-Jésus is one of the most spectacular and emotionally intense piano works of the past century. Written in occupied France in 1944, Olivier Messiaen’s epic meditation on the Nativity expresses the composer’s profound faith through the prism of both intense personal suffering – his incarceration as a prisoner of war and his wife’s terminal illness – and an idiosyncratic, almost surreal expression of blinding joy.

The work is filled with moments of astonishing bravura which are balanced by passages of meditative bliss. The unforgettable conclusion presents one of the most glorious climaxes in all music.

Please note there will be a Pre concert talk from 7.00 - 7.15pm
