Written during World War II in a prisoner of war camp, by French composer Olivier Messiaen, this work for clarinet, violin, cello, and piano was first performed by his fellow prisoners in the German camp. After last summer’s commission of Everyday People, the moving stories of Russell County’s World War II POWs inspired a performance of this famous piece of classical music. The Old Stone Church in Luray is the perfect atmosphere to hear Messiaen’s masterpiece.
