A remake of a special kind. 2024 marks 150 years since the premiere of „Pictures at an Exhibition“. On this anniversary the quartet now presents an extraordinary and progressive interpretation of this timeless masterpiece by Mussorgsky, having always explored innovative possibilities to transform the different genres of classical music, The Modern String Quartet hereby exhibits pictures within the framework of a fascinating contemporary tonal language— so very abstract and modern. A crouched Gnomus scurries through the disharmonious paint blobs of a Jackson Pollock, Baba Jaga skitters through the wild, expressionistic brush strokes of a Wassily Kandinsky. New pictures are hung up, being uncompromising in expression and enhanced by unrestrained imagination.Framed in Jazz
The quartet’s enrapturing music remakes listeners’ perception of well-known paintings while the music pieces themselves become new works of art by means of inspiring jazz improvisation. This exhibition turns into a splendid promenade through wonderfully diverse styles of music. The Modern String Quartet is well-known for its forty years of uncomfortably persevering and fearless exploration of unknown paths.
