I Musici de Montreal
Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition

Performed with Large Screen Projections of the Award-Winning Film of Animated Paintings by Yuli Turovsky

In this inventive interpretation of "Pictures at an Exhibition," I Musici de Montréal, one of the world's finest 15 piece chamber orchestras, combines Mussorgsky’s timeless compositions with large-screen animated projections of Yuli Turovsky’s inspired paintings. Every turn of musical phrase, harmony, tempo, or rhythm is choreographed with a movement in the elements of the paintings, creating a stunning visual commentary of the musical content - paintings for the ears and music for the eyes. In 2007, this film won an "Excellence in Cinema Award" at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival. Fanfare Magazine recently recognized I Musici de Montréal as "one of the best chamber orchestras in North America." The centerpiece of this powerful all-Russian program features the Mussorgsky Classic in a production with digital large-scale projections of paintings by acclaimed artist Turovsky.
