CONCERT WITH ART SHOW
7:30PM

Award-winning pianist and recording artist Ilya Yakushev will perform music by Beethoven, Liszt, Mussorgsky, and Tchaikovsky at the Milford Theatre. While he is playing, a slideshow will feature Old Masters paintings that relate to each piece. This concert will feature Beethoven’s Sonata No. 14 in c# minor (“Moonlight Sonata”), Tchaikovsky’s “Dumka” op. 59 in c minor, Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition,” and Liszt’s “Vallee d’Obermann,” No. 6. The art projected for “Pictures,” of course, will be the works by the composer’s friend Victor Hartmann that inspired Mussorgsky to create this music.
