Russian Ballet Icons Gala, London 8 March 2015

[Helene]

The 10th Anniversary Russian Ballet Icons Gala and Dinner will be held on 8 March 2015 at the London Coliseum.

Every Gala is a multimedia experience which combines performances by living masters who celebrate the life and art of the greatest performers of the Russian ballet and the importance of the Russian ballet school generally.

The Russian Ballet Icons Gala 2015 will again feature significant excerpts from the Russian classical repertoire and masterpieces by contemporary choreographers influenced by the Russian ballet. The programme will be performed by the world renowned dancers of the Bolshoi, Mariinsky, Royal Ballet, English National Ballet, ballets of the Grand Opera Paris, Berlin Staatsoper, New York City Ballet and the Ballet of Monte Carlo.

We'll post more details when we get them.

Anyone know what else they do -- how are they involved in dance?

If you look at their "events portfolio" links on their website, you'll see that most of the programs are either Russian-based or Russian+another country based arts programs:

Thanks -- I was curious to know more about the context.

[Helene]

It seems to be fostering artistic relationships with Russia. Their rosters are very impressive.
