Family concert at the Messezentrum
Pictures at an Exhibition
When music paints pictures
Every child is an artist. The challenge is to remain one as an adult.
– Pablo Picasso
In Pictures at an Exhibition, Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky sets a walk through a gallery filled with music and sound. Have you ever imagined how music can bring a picture to life? Each piece depicts a different work of art, sometimes funny, sometimes mysterious, sometimes enormous. As you listen, you can ask yourself: What colors or figures do I see in this music? At this special concert, Luoke Chen will paint live, transforming the music into colorful images—so you can not only hear the sounds, but also see them!
