c12-mussorgsky-and-kandinsky

In 1928 Wassily Kandinsky presented a Total Art performance based upon Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition in which he combined music, painting and staging. In this fascinating concert Uzbekistan-born French pianist Mikhail Rudy recreates Kandinsky’s theatrical vision, playing Mussorgsky’s great score with an animated film using Kandinsky’s stunning images.

Before that Chagall, the sound of colours — an animated film created and produced by Mikhail Rudy using sketches by Marc Chagall to music by Gluck, Mozart, Wagner and Debussy.

This is Mikhail Rudy's most recent fabulous project whereby art and music enter into a dialogue led with his everlasting maestria and depth.'

The Brunton, Musselburgh

The Brunton Hall, as it was originally known, was designed by Rowand Anderson, Kininmonth and Paul and opened by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, in 1971.

It is named after John D Brunton, who left a bequest of £700,000 to the people of Musselburgh on his death in 1951, specifying that it must be used to build a public hall for the community.

As well as the concert hall (Venue One, in which this year's Lammermuir Festival event is being held), the building also contains a 296-seat theatre.

The large stained glass windows, depicting themes from the sea, were designed by Glasgow-based artist Deborah Campbell and commissioned by the Brunton Theatre Trust.
