Olivier Messiaen completed his quartet "For the End of Time" at the beginning of 1941 as an inmate of a German prisoner of war camp. The premiere of the work took place in the camp in Görlitz in front of around 400 prisoners of war, with the composer himself playing the piano part. The monumental work gave Messiaen new courage to face life in the face of captivity - a message that still resonates today. It became one of the most central chamber music works of the 20th century.

The musicians of the Nardis Quartet have been playing together for many years, also as a duo or trio.

Valentina Jacomella studied in Basel with A. v. Wijnkoop and at the Lucerne School of Music with S. Hamann, where she received her soloist diploma with distinction and the Edwin Fischer Prize. She was awarded the Cultural Promotion Prize of the Canton of Zug. She has been a permanent member of the Basel Symphony Orchestra since 2009.

Lanet Flores was born in Cuba. She studied clarinet at the Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana and at the FHNW Academy of Music in Basel with François Benda. She graduated in 2002 with a soloist's diploma and was awarded 1st prize by the Basel Orchestra Society. She is involved in music education for children in the music theater series for children at the Gare des Enfants (Gare du Nord Basel).

Gabriel Wernly studied violoncello with Claude Starck in Zurich and with Martin Ostertag in Karlsruhe, where he obtained his diploma "with distinction". He performs regularly with the Camerata Bern. He teaches at the Oberaargau grammar school and performs as a soloist and chamber musician in Switzerland and abroad.
