Known as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and for co-founding the Cubist movement, it is surprisingly little know that artist Pablo Picasso was heavily involved in the costume design for many ground breaking ballets. His creative union with ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev was one of the most influential collaborations of the 20th century, which altered the nature of ballet, and for Picasso opened a whole new world of artistic exploration.

50 years after his death we celebrate his work in a concert solely featuring music of the ballets he designed for - from Stravinsky’s Pulcinella in which traditional stories were “entirely transformed into striking modernist masterpieces, reimagining the ballet as a site for clashing avant-garde styles, shapes and forms” through his costumes and set design, to Satie’s angular, confrontational and avant-garde Parade and De Falla’s Three Cornered Hat, telling a Spanish love story set within the Andalusian mountains.
