You could say, "wow what a painting!" Or you could say...🖼️🎻
DSO Concertmaster Alex Kerr got in the right 'frame' of mind with the help of these stunning paintings at the Dallas Museum of Art, just in time for Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, February 27-March 1. Alex will also take center stage that weekend in Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2.
Grab tickets at dallassymphony.org/mussorgskys-pictures-at-an-exhibition/ — and if you're looking for a little extra inspiration, begin with a visit to the DMA. General admission is free.
