Exhibition "Pictures at an Exhibition 2.0"

About exhibition

Can a painting be heard? How does a composer hear painting? Classical music and painting have come together more than once, including in Modest Mussorgsky's famous "Pictures at an Exhibition." The Museum of Music offers a creative experiment—to create musical accompaniment (a soundtrack) to famous masterpieces from the institution's collection. Thanks to music, the works of Ivan Aivazovsky and Viktor Vasnetsov, Yan Tsionglinsky and Isaac Levitan, Konstantin Korovin and Nikolai Roerich, Pyotr Konchalovsky and Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin will come to life. Composer Kuzma Bodrov will write a new musical work specially for the exhibition, inspired by the paintings of Russian masters. Playlists of the favorite pieces of famous artists will also be prepared for the exhibition: "What Konstantin Korovin Listened To", "What Nikolai Roerich Listened To", "What Pyotr Konchalovsky Listened To", etc. In this way the past and the present will be united in one project.
