In the final festival program, Crumb's cataclysmic Black Angels, a passionately anti-war statement, balances Messiaen’s Quatuor pour la fin du temps (Quartet for the End of Time), a devoutly spiritual work composed in a prisoner of war camp. To open, J. S. Bach consecrates the concert hall with two of his most moving, final works, including a Contapunctus from The Art of Fugue.
