Leif Ove Andsnes, piano, and Robin Rhode – Pictures Reframed November 18, 2009

Pictures Reframed unites two strikingly original artists — multiple Grammy Award-winning Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes and South African-born, Berlin-based visual artist Robin Rhode — in a collaborative performance of Mussorgsky’s epic piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition.

Renowned for his vital and distinctive performances, with more than 30 recordings spanning a repertoire from Bach to the present day, Mr. Andsnes will appear on a specially designed stage set that surrounds him with the real-time creation of Mr. Rhode's works. He will also perform selections from Schumann’s Kinderscenen, Op. 15, Mussorgsky’s From Memories of Childhood and a new work by Austrian composer Thomas Larcher.

StatoilHydro is the Commissioning Sponsor of Pictures Reframed.

The six performances in our two Classical series are made possible by the William R. Kenan, Jr. Trust Endowment.

"...magisterial elegance, power and insight."
