Notable’s only London concert in May
In collaboration with The Original Menu
Why did Pictures At An Exhibition sound so shocking to nineteenth-century ears, and why does it still feel startlingly modern today?
In this storytelling-concert virtuoso pianist Pavel Timofeyevsky explores Mussorgsky’s visionary masterpiece: a work that anticipated Impressionism, modernism, and even the language of cinema decades before they fully emerged.
Alongside works by Debussy, Ravel, and Prokofiev, Pavel will explore the turbulent story of Mussorgsky’s life, artistic ideals, and lasting influence on twentieth-century music, before performing the complete Pictures at an Exhibition with live visual projections inspired by the music and the paintings behind it.
