Three vivid musical canvases launch the Mobile Symphony's season with spectacular colors, as we celebrate the connection between the visual and musical arts. Berlioz's Roman Carnival depicts a wild Mardi Gras celebration during the lifetime of Renaissance sculptor Benvenuto Cellini. Our former Composer-in-Residence Kenji Bunch brings the bold cartoon imagery of Pop art to life in a contemporary masterpiece inspired by the paintings of Roy Lichtenstein. And Mussorgsky/Ravel's Pictures at an Exhibition portrays the whimsical, fantastical, sometimes monstrous creations of artist Viktor Hartmann. Together these works highlight the power of music to paint pictures with the limitless palette of the modern symphony orchestra.
