Blending visual art and music, PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION shares an innovative, multi-media performance of Modest Mussorgsky/Maurice Ravel's "Pictures at an Exhibition." Russian composer Mussorgsky's original 1874 piano suite was inspired by an exhibition of work by his friend and artist Victor Hartmann. In 1921, French composer Ravel produced an orchestration of "Pictures at an Exhibition," which has become a staple of the symphonic repertoire. Now, in PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION, Gerard Schwarz, music director of the Frost Symphony Orchestra, and Jill Deupi, Beaux Arts director and chief curator of the Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami, have combined their talents to produce a unique tribute to the history of the composition and its origins. Deupi worked with several artists who created works to accompany specific parts of the 10-movement composition plus its five promenades. In addition, she selected other works of art to correlate and connect to the mood of the various movements. Viewers experience a full performance of the composition by the Frost Symphony Orchestra, accompanied by an "exhibition" of these new selected artworks, presented in a virtual-reality museum gallery. Before the performance of "Pictures at an Exhibition," Schwarz compares the original Mussorgsky piano piece and Ravel's orchestration with the help of the Frost Symphony Orchestra and a student pianist. Deupi also discusses the decisions behind the art pieces selected.
