      The Mobile Saenger Theatre is transformed into an art exhibition by local artists with the help of Cathedral Square Gallery. World-Renowned violinist, Pip Clarke, hailed by critics as “dazzling” and “spellbinding”, joins the Mobile Symphony Orchestra for this sure-to-be-incredible opening night performance.      Berlioz's Roman Carnival depicts Mardi Gras, Italian style, during the time of sculptor Benvenuto Cellini. The great film composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold incorporated some of his lushest themes into his Violin Concerto. And in Maurice Ravel's brilliantly colorful orchestration, Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition is the ultimate orchestral showpiece.

There will be a Sneak Preview Open Dress Rehearsal Matinee for this show Saturday, September 8 at 2 p.m.
