Concert Details
Dana Mambourg Zimbric, Conductor


A picture can tell a thousand words, but did you know that a picture can also tell a thousand musical notes? The CLASSICS PHILHARMONIC is joined by members of San Diego Pantomime Theatre to perform an original portrayal of the story and pictures of Modest Mussorgsky’s famous “Pictures at an Exhibition”. Focusing on visual arts and music, this concert is sure to stir your students’ imaginations.
