PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION Mussorgsky – Kandinsky

In 1928 in Dessau Kandinsky created an Art Total performance based upon Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition in which he combined music, painting and staging. Each one of Kandinsky’s sketches is animated according to his staging indications. Rudy revived this Art Total creation during an exceptional concert.

THE SOUND OF COLOURS - Marc Chagall

Mikhail Rudy knew Marc Chagall in his late years. In collaboration with the Chagall family he created an animated film using Chagall’s unpublished sketches, which he painted in preparation for the ceiling of the Paris Opera. Rudy accompanied the film with music by the composers evoked by Chagall in his painting : Glück, Mozart, Wagner, Debussy and Ravel. The premiere took place in July 2013 in the Marc Chagall Museum in Nice, for the museum 40th anniversary. Since then Mikhail Rudy has been invited to play Chagall, The Sound of Colours on numerous international stages : the Nanterre Maison de la Musique, Rouen Opera, Sala Sao Paolo in Sao Paolo, Paris Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Milan Auditorium, Grenoble Museum, Nancy Salle Poirel and in the festivals of La Roque d’Anthéron, Besançon, Hong-Kong, Mexico, La Chaise-Dieu and Wimbledon.
