Pictures of an exhibition

In 1874, Modest Mussorgski (1839-1881) created „Pictures of an Exhibition“ as a piano cyclus. It took almost 50 years, until it found worldwide recognition through the adaption for orchestra by Maurice Ravel in 1922 and has since become an essential part of most important philharmonic orchestras' repertoires. The piece consists of ten „pictures“ of different length and takes about one hour to perform.

We'll try to find new pictures and contemporary interpretations for parts of this romantic-expressive work, which will be composed into an impressive image-sound-collage.
