SCMS Free Pre-Concert Recital: George Li plays 'Pictures at an Exhibition'
Pianist George Li performs Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition," a Russian piano classic that translates visual art into sound, at Town Hall Seattle's Great Hall. It's a free pre-concert recital, so you get a full performance without the ticket price—good if you want to hear something substantial before heading elsewhere or just appreciate a skilled pianist tackling one of the repertoire's most vivid works.

Lineup

  • Modest Mussorgsky

    Modest Mussorgsky (1839–1881) was a Russian composer and one of The Five, a group of nationalist composers who pioneered a uniquely Russian musical identity. He is best known for his opera Boris Godunov, the orchestral tone poem Night on Bald Mountain, and the piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition, works inspired by Russian history, folklore, and national themes.
