Scott Speck Conductor

Running time: about 42 min (estimate from the works' usual timings; not every piece has one)

Worth the drive: A piano suite inspired by an art exhibit, most often heard in Ravel's dazzling orchestral arrangement, walking listeners through a gallery of vivid musical "paintings." The suite opens with "Promenade," a broad, unhurried theme representing the composer strolling through the gallery, its irregular footsteps returning between pictures as a musical thread tying the whole work together.

About this concert

Mobile Symphony opens its season with Scott Speck conducting a program of visually inspired works: Berlioz's Roman Carnival Overture, a contemporary piece by Kenji Bunch drawing on Roy Lichtenstein's Pop art, and Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition in Ravel's orchestration.
