Grieg & Mussorgsky

Grieg & Mussorgsky brings together two cornerstones of the Romantic and late-Romantic orchestral repertoire in a single evening, presented by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra under the baton of music director Jonathon Heyward. The concert pairs Edvard Grieg’s beloved Piano Concerto with Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, heard here in Maurice Ravel’s brilliant orchestration and enhanced by a special visual presentation that accompanies the music. Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki takes the solo role in the Grieg concerto, bringing what the page describes as poetic intensity to one of the most iconic works in the piano concerto literature. The program opens with a contemporary curtain-raiser, Orpheus’ Comet by Dobrinka Tabakova, setting up an evening of vivid character and lyrical beauty. The performance takes place at The Music Center at Strathmore — a venue listed in the event details as Strathmore — and is explicitly noted as not presented by Strathmore itself, with tickets and pricing handled through the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s website.
