Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition & Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3

Presented by Delirium Musicum

Delirium Musicum is back at the BroadStage Santa Monica and at LA. Dance Project (DTLA) to tackle Mussorgsky's masterpiece: Pictures at an Exhibition, in its string orchestra version! The ensemble will pair it with Bach's legendary Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 for a memorable show of transcendental colors and music.

Delirium Musicum’s 16 musicians bring ferocious vitality and enthusiasm to a program that bridges Baroque intricacy and Romantic imagination. J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV 1048, sets the stage for Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, performed in Jacques Cohen’s vivid orchestration. Taking on such a large orchestral piece with only 16 self-conducted musicians is the kind of challenge Delirium Musicum thrills on. The ensemble’s ability to move seamlessly between stylistic worlds, transforming iconic masterpieces into a fresh and compelling concert experience, will particularly shine with Mussorgsky’s musical imagery depicting his experience strolling the exhibition of his close friend, painter Viktor Hartmann. Each movement transforms a painting’s universe into sound, inviting audience members on a colorful musical journey.

The Eli and Edythe Broad Stage at the Santa Monica College Performing Arts Center opened its doors in October 2008. The Broad Stage is an artist’s dream and an audience’s delight.
 
Unlike any performance space in the country, it is sublimely intimate with just over 500 seats and strikingly grand at the same time–allowing eye contact with artists from the boxes to the back row–forging a new kind of artist and audience experience in Los Angeles. Boasting one of the city's largest proscenium stages, The Broad Stage offers theatre, dance, film, opera, jazz, world music, musicals, symphony and chamber orchestras, family programming and more. Each genre features superlative talent from every generation and around the globe. No other performing arts center west of the 405 can boast such consistently stellar lineups of performers, including André Watts, Anna Netrebko, Sir James Galway, Sutton Foster, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Patti LuPone, Aaron Neville, Lee Ritenou, Dave Grusin, Joshua Redman, Lil Buck, Bobby McFerrin, Helen Hunt, Academy of St Martin in the Fields and many others.
 
In addition to The Broad Stage, The Edye, our 100-seat black box theater, presents new, developing and innovative work in theatre, music and dance, as well as offerings from our other genres. Featuring younger, emerging artists, chamber pieces and plays, programming at The Edye reflects the dynamic nature of the space and allows for the latest, most exciting artists to be booked on short notice. 

The Broad Stage’s Education & Community Programs offer opportunities for cultural exposure through various art events, currently reaching more than 15,000 children, parents, educators and community members every year.
