Maya Pritsker
One of the world's great cultural impresarios and the founder of the Ballet Russes, Sergei Diaghalev had an enormous impact on the developments in Russian and Western Europe's visual and performing arts. What made Diaghilev the right man for the right time?
Join Russian-born musicologist, lecturer, journalist and art critic Maya Pritsker as she discusses the life and times of Sergei Diaghilev. Hear about his circle of friends, his personal tastes and his relationship with artists, the press and patrons in the context of the major artistic trends and political movements in Russia and Europe between 1890 and 1929.
This program is part of the Russian Sundays series.
