Pictures at an Exhibition

FSO performs Mussorgsky’s much-loved musical depiction of an art gallery, masterfully orchestrated by Ravel. In this performance an extra image will join the exhibition: an excerpt from Rubinstein’s opera ‘Moses’. In the first half of the concert, French late-Romantic composer Mel Bonis paints a picture in sound of a dreaming Cleopatra, and award-winning soloist Madeleine Pickering plays Elgar’s passionate Violin Concerto
