Programme Note
The Bloomsbury Woodwind Ensemble will present a chronological programme of music from the itinerant Ballets Russes company. Impresario Sergei Diaghilev commissioned some of the foremost composers to write music until his death in 1929. The programme will include a concert performance of Constant Lambert’s long forgotten but charming score Romeo and Juliet.
Venue access
