White Light Festival

Audiences vibrate at a higher level during Lincoln Center's spiritual fall festival. This week, catch the final performances of Four Quartets, which features a reading of T.S. Eliot's monumental poem tetralogy by British actor Stephen Dillane paired with the Miró Quartet performing music by Beethoven, which was an inspiration to Eliot throughout his career. The Huelgas Ensemble raises its angelic voices in a pair of programs that explore the Renaissance conception of utopia (on Thu 10) and the medieval obsession with apocalypse (Sat 12). Messiaen's mystical Catholicism takes center stage at an organ concert by Olivier Latry (on Fri 11), and pianist Stephen Prutsman's late-night recital at the Kaplan Penthouse on Wed 16 doubles as a meditation session for those so inclined.
