Sold Out
Russian impresario Sergey Diaghilev began his career as a student of musical composition before switching to art criticism. He later united his two great passions, music and the visual arts, in the Saisons Russes in Paris. Dr Marina Frolova-Walker, Clare College, Cambridge, examines how Diaghilev brought together the most forward-looking Russian and French composers and artists to create spectacular ballet productions that were so powerful he changed the course of European artistic development.
