Fowler Center Series presents I Musici de Montréal
The Fowler Center Series presents its fifth event of the 2009-10 season in Riceland Hall on Tuesday, Jan. 26, at 7:30 p.m., when it kicks off the new year with I Musici de Montréal. This performance is also part of the Riceland Distinguished Presentation Series. Founded by cellist and conductor Yuli Turovsky, I Musici de Montréal is a chamber orchestra of 15 musicians that presents a vast repertoire extending from the baroque to the contemporary. The orchestra presents a busy schedule of over 100 concerts per season throughout the world, including three prestigious series in Montreal. This extraordinary amount of activity places I Musici de Montréal amongst the most important touring orchestras in Canada. This exciting program from I Musici de Montréal features Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition,” with animated projections of award-winning painter Natasha Turovsky’s images. The startling new paintings honor the Victor Hartmann canvasses which inspired Mussorgsky’s composition, now lovingly envisioned for chamber orchestra.
