Modest Mussorgsky / Maurice Ravel — Pictures at an Exhibition
Visceral excitement and pure, richly textured musicality come together in this opening night program that features the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conductor Riccardo Muti, and violin superstar Leonidas Kavakos. Breathtaking virtuosity is a given in Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, and in Kavakos's hands audiences will also find an extraordinary depth that sets a high standard for the showpiece. In Mussorgsky's essential Pictures from an Exhibition (popularly arranged for symphonic orchestra by Ravel), 10 paintings are brought to life through sound. The orchestra’s great range of colors are highlighted across this collection of musical riches.
Complete this glamorous evening by attending a post-concert, black-tie gala dinner at Cipriani 42nd Street (tickets start at $2,000). Pre-concert cocktail reception tickets are sold out. All ticket and table prices include a partially tax-deductible donation that benefits Carnegie Hall's artistic, education, and social impact programming.
