It's not too hard to follow Diaghilev-related events as they tend to get quite a lot of coverage. Some more links:

The estate of Countess Ahlefeldt, sole beneficiary of Serge Lifar's will, to be sold at the Hôtel des Ventes in Geneva in March.

At this auction collectors and aficionados can expect to find not only drawings by Picasso worth more than CHF 100,000 but also dedicated programmes (CHF 200), his travelling trunk (CHF 300) and his favourite little teddy bear (CHF 200)”

Some of the tiling reminds me of Leighton House. Maybe it was an influence?

A second Diaghilev-related concert from France – this one took place on 16th March 2012 with the orchestre philarmonique de Radio France. The pieces are Debussy's “l'apres-midi d'un faune” and “la mer”, Ravel's “la valse” and Stravinsky's “firebird” (1919 version). This concert will be available at cite de la musique until mid June and also at Arte Live Web.

It is a very special concert as it is a fundraiser for UNICEF - the orchestra and their musical director Myung-Whun Chung have been ambassadors for UNICEF since 2007. The concert features some of the pupils of the orchestra.

If you enjoy the concert, maybe you might wish to consider making a donation to UNICEF.
