All music paints pictures, but Mussorgsky’s *Pictures at an Exhibition* takes them to the next level. Dancing chickens, glowing skulls, witches, gnomes and the sound of a thousand bells –they’re all here, large as life, and to see them you only have to listen. But that’s just one highlight of an evening that opens in Poland with a love letter from Chopin played by the amazing Rafał Blechacz and features a real surprise from Scotland’s own Thea Musgrave. A guaranteed sighting of Nessie? Hearing is believing!
