Khatia Buniatishvili's guest appearance in Fall 2015 at the International Center of Culture and Arts in Kiev features the piano suite PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION, that was written by Mussorgsky in honour of his deceased friend, the architect Victor Hartmann.
Originally composed by Modest Mussorgsky for solo piano, the suite comprises 10 pictures by Hartmann illustrated in separated movements and connected by the Promenade theme that depicts an imaginary tour of an art collection. The final movement depicts an architectural design for Kiev, The Bogatyr Gates.
Buniatishvilis musical promenade reveals an extraordinary thrilling interpretation, accompanied by impressions of Kiev’s cultural life including visits at artists friends and the current mayor of Kiev, the former heavyweight champion, Vitali Klitschko.
