Mussorgsky originally wrote Pictures at an Exhibition as a group of piano pieces. His musical composition was inspired by an art exhibition of drawings and watercolors by his good friend Viktor Hartmann. Most of the pictures from the Hartmann exhibition are lost. Students are invited to create artwork in response to a musical movement from Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Submissions will be projected during the concert. Please email photos of student artwork to Lisa Kjentvet at . Deadline for submissions is Tuesday, February 14, 2023.
The Spring Young People’s Concert is truly an exceptional experience for my students; a chance to see the limitless possibilities ahead of them.
