A SEASON OF 

SPECTACLE 

ILLUMINATION 

EVOCATION 

It is almost a commonplace to say that ours is a visual 

age. More and more of our activities are mediated by the 

visual, even the act of listening to music itself: witness the 

status of YouTube as a go-to source of all forms of music, 

in homes and in music classrooms. 

Of course music and imagery have a long, intimate 

relationship. A visual element lies at the root of the music 

we present, and one can wonder whether music’s graphic 

representation in the glorious universal language of 

notation has been a spur for composers to think visually 

through the ages. Or perhaps our experience of sacred 

settings tells us that music, architecture, and visual 

iconography emerged from the same source of awe—and 

sought to recapture it, each in its own way. 

This is a season of spectacle, illumination, and evocation: 

Among the profusion of images and works that we present 

are an iconic film of the 20th century, Sergei Eisenstein’s 

Alexander Nevsky, with a score by Prokofiev; John 

Corigliano’s opera The Ghosts of Versailles; the Limon 

Dance Company performing Anna Sokolow’s Rooms; 

and a collaboration between brass and percussion, with 

projections, showcasing Ligeti’s Mysteries of the Macabre. 

Among the great luminaries on the concert calendar 

this year are Thomas Hampson, Kurt Masur, Philippe 

Entremont, and Robert Mann. We also celebrate the 

great Stan Kenton’s centennial with a rare opportunity 

to hear the breadth of his work, both for full orchestra 

and jazz big band. 

We hope this focus on the visual will free your imagination 

when attending MSM events this season and illuminate 

and enliven your concertgoing in years to come.
