Wednesday, November 27, 7 pm at the Municipal House
This piano composition by Mussorgsky and orchestrated by Maurice Ravel is a staple of the classical music repertoire.
Mussorgsky was an important figure as the style of Russian classical music took shape. A phenomenal melodist, he was unafraid of unconventional techniques, perhaps in part because he was essentially self-taught as a composer and an outsider in his personal life. The result of Ravel’s congenial orchestration was the perfect combination of Russian Romanticism with the colorful sounds of early 20th century Paris.
Venue: The Municipal House is an art nouveau building completed in 1911 to represent the city of Prague. Its interiors were decorated by the leading artists of the time – mosaics, sculptures, ironwork… it is a true architectural masterpiece.
