Olivier Messiaen wrote Quattour pour le fin du temps in 1941, while a prisoner of war in Görlitz, Germany. The piece was the inspiration for the formation of Unheard-of//Ensemble, dedicated to the cultivation of the repertory for this instrumentation.

Alia Musica presents the Pittsburgh stop of New York-based ensemble Unheard-of, and their acclaimed performance of Messiaen’s iconic 1941 quartet.
