Few works can match Pictures at an Exhibition for orchestral color, sonic impact and sheer excitement, and no work displays the virtuosity of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra quite like it. 

• This suite of ten piano pieces composed by Modest Mussorgsky is considered his most famous piano composition and has become a showpiece for virtuoso pianists.  It was later scored for full orchestra by French composer Maurice Ravel and is a staple in symphonic repertoire.
• ISO purchased an oil painting by local artist Lesley Haflich, painted en plein aire at Marsh Symphony on the Prairie during last summer’s outdoor performance of this same work.
