This concert represents the first installment of IonSound's Leaving a Legacy project. The group performed commissions by three Pittsburgh composers, Christian Kriegeskotte, Philip Thompson, and Nizan Leibovich. Each work was inspired by, or created in collaboration with a visual art form: from the 16th century woodcuts by Hans Holbein, to a 19th century painting by Henri Matisse, to an interpretation of of the origins of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. The program concluded with a new arrangement of Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" and a presentation of musically inspired artwork by students from the Falk School.
