Pictures At An Exhibition A Lyrical Tour – Powell Hall, Saint Louis

About this event

Pictures at an Exhibition A Lyrical Tour is a thematic St. Louis Symphony Orchestra program that links orchestral music with visual art. The concert frames the experience as a gallery walk, where melody, color, and timbre serve as guides from one canvas to the next. It opens with Rachmaninoff’s brooding Isle of the Dead and culminates in Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition in Ravel’s vivid orchestration—two works profoundly shaped by encounters with art and imagery. At the heart of the program sits Glazunov’s Violin Concerto, performed by prodigy Himari in her SLSO debut. Led by conductor John Storgårds, whose background as a violinist and concertmaster informs his approach, the orchestra shapes a narrative that moves from shadowed contemplation to kaleidoscopic brilliance.
