This extraordinary guided tour connects historical research with musical reflection. Historian Dr. Johannes Bent and musicologist Dr. Katarzyna Bartos lead a tour through the Stalag VIII A memorial site, shedding light on Olivier Messiaen's time in the camp and the creation of his Quartet for the End of Time. The tour focuses on the historical perspective, the soundscape of the location, and an analysis of the music, aiming to develop a new perspective on the conditions of captivity and the art created in this place.
