While making the album at Vienna's Musikverein in April 2016,
Gustavo and members of the orchestra participated in workshops alongside
young people from the El Sistema-inspired Superar. The program is based
in one of Vienna's most ethnically and culturally diverse neighborhoods
and offers music lessons to around 900 children between the ages of
five and sixteen.
"For our current recording project, a wonderful program of Russian
delights, the Wiener Philharmoniker and I have joined forces with
children from Superar, offering young people of a range of backgrounds
the opportunity to engage with themes from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition,"
says Gustavo. "The sense of collective engagement through music – of
individuals learning, listening and creating together – resonates in the
living tradition of the Wiener Philharmoniker, inspires our artistic
collaboration and fuels our desire to share music's transformative power
with future generations."
