The Tessera Quartet in Glasgow: In Remembrance

Sound meets silence in a raw meditation on memory and loss— Tessera Quartet invites you to sit with what lingers, unsettles, and transforms.
About this Event

Clarinet, violin, cello, and piano converge in a programme that moves from shadowed Romantic introspection to one of the most profound musical responses to human suffering ever written.

Featuring:

Clarinet — Leo Kerr
Violin — Glen Mouat
Cello — Lucy Pye
Piano — Catriona Mackenzie

At the heart of the evening lies Ernest Chausson’s Piano Trio in G minor, Op. 3—a work of restless lyricism and brooding intensity, where cyclical themes circle back like memories that refuse to settle.

This gives way to Olivier Messiaen’s Quatuor pour la fin du temps (Quartet for the End of Time)—a transcendent, eight-movement work composed in a prisoner-of-war camp in 1940–41, scored for the same forces as tonight’s ensemble.
