Mussorgsky's 'Pictures at an Exhibition' Gets a Visual Twist

The UK’s first purpose built Deaf Cultural Centre and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) worked in partnership to explore visual and aural links of Mussorgsky’s orchestral work ‘Pictures at an Exhibition'.

As part of a newly established education project, CBSO musicians including Deaf musician Sannah Gulamani and Deaf artists Fiona McLean and Iva Tetauerova have been working with four local hearing impaired schools to develop creative performances that explore how musical themes can be represented visually, enabling creative music making opportunities.
