Kansas City, MO – I Musici de Montr?al conductor Yuli Turovsky arranged Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" for string orchestra. He also commissioned his daughter, artist and violinist Natasha Turovsky, to create new paintings inspired by the music. And these animated works "dance" along to the music. KCUR's Laura Spencer spoke with Natasha Turovsky.
