Special Collaborations

Nathan, joined by CAG artists Leland Ko, cello, Evren Ozel, piano, and special guest clarinetist Anoush Pogossian, present The End of Time — a reflective program that blurs the lines between ends, beginnings, and the unknown. Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du Temps (Quartet for the End of Time) preceded by Brahms' Clarinet Trio and Oswald Huỳnh's Fissured Edifices, Fractured Artifices, create a sonic landscape that is at once powerfully vivid and intensely intimate.
