Pictures at an Exhibition: Masterworks

Pictures at an Exhibition: Masterworks

A program inspired by art. In Pictures at an Exhibition, Ravel’s orchestration of Mussorgsky’s melodies paints a series of artworks in vivid sound. Stefan Jackiw revels in the cinematic flair of Korngold’s lush Violin Concerto. The evening begins with Hindemith’s Mathis der Maler Symphony.

We’re full of surprises. Every Masterworks concert has a surprise inside – a short mystery piece that connects to the program in an unexpected way. Each one is Michael Francis’ little secret.

Classical Kids & Teens: Kids and teens ages 5-18 get in free to all Masterworks concerts with Classical Kids tickets, thanks in part to the generous support of an anonymous donor. At least one paying adult purchase is required per order, and other restrictions apply. These tickets are available in advance only through The Florida Orchestra Ticket Center. For more information and tickets, call 727.892.3337.

Audio Program Notes

On the Blog

Erich Korngold may be best known as a composer of Hollywood film scores from the 1930s, but his Violin Concerto has grown into a cult favorite for its unabashed lyricism. Korngold earned a reputation as a musical swashbuckler, and rightly so. Click here to read more on TFO’s Blog.
