Scenes of Montpelier

Print More

Tomorrow evening,  Michael Arnowitt unveils his new jazz suite
Scenes of Montpelier. He describes it as an extension of the idea
behind Pictures at an Exhibition, except transferred to the
outdoors rather than Mussorgsky’s art gallery. We’ll hear Mussorgsky’s
music this morning and give you the details on Michael’s performance tomorrow night.
