Season Opening Gala Concert - Noseda conducts Carlos Simon & Pictures at an Exhibition

  • John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Concert Hall 2700 F Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20566 United States (map)

The stage is set to celebrate a spectacular new season! This glamorous evening begins with Rossini, Elgar, and Carlos Simon’s invigorating Fate Now Conquers—inspired by Beethoven’s journal entry of that phrase from the Iliad. Then, music imitates art in Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, a joyous fusion of drama and beauty based on the paintings of Victor Hartmann.
