Synopsis

Experience a stunning evening of music and visual arts in time for Art Basel. Modest Mussorgsky’s iconic musical composition of 10 movements was inspired by an exhibition of artworks by Viktor Hartmann. Composed in 1874 and orchestrated by Maurice Ravel in 1922, the musical movements will be paired with newly commissioned artworks by Claudia DeMonte and Ed McGowin, along with curated works from the Lowe Art Museum’s vast and diverse collections. The art will be projected onto a screen above the orchestra. Mussorgsky’s original inspiration will be illuminated with multicultural perspectives. The evening also includes music by Aaron Copland, Julia Perry and others.
