I Musici de Montréal performs Mussorgsky's masterful "Pictures at an Exhibition" with the award-winning film of choreographed paintings by Natasha Turovsky. The film was inspired by Mussorgsky's beloved piece and the story behind it -- paintings of Victor Hartmann were the original inspiration for Mussorgsky's timeless music. The centerpiece of this towering program features the Mussorgsky classic in a production traveling with digital projections of the fifteen large-scale paintings by Natasha Turovosky -- including, The Promenade, Baba-Yaga, The Gates of Kiev and more. The film, co-created with digital animator Gael Hollard, is featured on-stage via large screen projection above the orchestra.
Acclaimed artist Natasha Turovsky's work has been seen in solo exhibitions from Hong Kong and Barcelona to Cleveland, Boston and Montréal. Her work has been commissioned by diverse requests from record labels, chamber music ensembles and more. Among the major press generated by her remarkable paintings is a new BRAVO Documentary, "Pictures at a Concert", and honors for the choreographed paintings at several film festivals.
In 2007, the film won an "Excellence in Cinema Award" at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival. The film has just been selected for the 2010 Cannes Independent Film Festival in the "Animated Short" category.
"Filmmaker Gael Hollard gave them life in video animation, which was projected center stage and flanked by the musicians. Without resorting to showy technical gimmickry, this was a truly artistic meeting of art forms that reached from the humor of dancing eggs with protruding legs and beaks to ominous images in catacombs."
