OVERVIEW

Step into a gallery of musical masterpieces with Pictures at an Exhibition. Composed in the wake of the loss of Mussorgsky’s dear friend—architect and artist Viktor Hartmann—this timeless work captures the essence of each of Hartmann’s pictures with breathtaking clarity and depth. With memorable favorites like the solemn “Old Castle,” the whimsical “Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks,” and the epic “The Great Gate of Kyiv,” each of the 10 unique portraits adds to a kaleidoscope of complex emotions and memories.

Similarly, as poignant and powerful choral compositions by Fauré and Poulenc fill the hall on the first half of the program, you’ll feel the bittersweet beauty of remembrance and the transcendent power of music to express the inexpressible.
