The Principality of Monaco is Celebrating One Hundred Years of Sergey Diaghilev and his Ballets Russes on 96.3FM WQXR
This fall, the Monaco Government Tourist Office is joining forces with 96.3FM WQXR, the classical station of The New York Times, to mark the centenary of cultural impresario, Sergey Diaghilev and his Ballets Russes in the enchanting Principality.
From September 8 through 30, tune-in to hear masterworks by such renowned Diaghilev contemporaries and collaborators as Igor Stravinsky, Anatoli Liadov, Michael Haydn.
Diaghilev’s extraordinary company, founded in 1909, survived a twenty-year rollercoaster ride of phenomenal successes and crippling problems - and quite simply, revolutionized ballet. A larger-than-life personality himself, he discovered (and nurtured) talented luminaries such as George Balanchine - and his genius for gathering together the most avant-garde composers of the day, Stravinsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel, Debussy and Prokofiev, and designers such as Bakst and Matisse - helped shape the Modernist movement.
