Hearing ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’: An Experiment in Imagination

May 13, 2027
$50 after taxes and fees

Fair warning: this experience defies easy description. Hearing ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’ pairs acclaimed movement artist Trevor Copp of Tottering Biped Theatre with a piano soloist for an experience that’s part concert, part live experiment, and entirely unlike anything else we’ve had in Peller Hall. Movement by movement, Mussorgsky’s beloved Pictures at an Exhibition is performed and reimagined multiple ways: through sound alone, through story, through the body… inviting the audience to discover how differently the same music can be heard depending on how it’s framed. At the end, the audience votes on which approach worked best.
