DACAMERA Young Artists perform Olivier Messiaen's iconic Quartet for the End of Time, which serves as the soundtrack for the installation in the Cistern, Time No Longer. The composition, created while Messiaen was imprisoned in a German war camp during World War II, confirms the composer's enduring faith and is a testament to beauty prevailing over darkness. Sarah Rothenberg, DACAMERA's artistic director, will lead a short discussion on the work preceding the performance. 

SPACE JAMS presented by The Currents

All systems are go for Space Jams, an out-of-this world fundraiser hosted by Buffalo Bayou Partnership’s YP group, The Currents. Come to experience the latest Cistern art installation, Time No Longer, but stay for spacey beats, light bites from Raising Cane’s, wine, beer from Saint Arnold, cocktails from Frankly Vodka, and stellar skyline views at The Water Works in Buffalo Bayou Park.
