“Pillars & Pioneers, the title of our April Cadogan Hall show is designed to reflect the mix of established, legendary and legacy artists featured on the programme. Richard Alston, Mara Galeazzi and Eric Gauthier join pioneering new voices including The Royal Ballet’s Matthew Ball and modern dance sensation BlacBrik.

We will also be hosting the UK premiere of Philadephia’s premier contemporary ballet company, BALLETX, in a duet from Big Ones by the brilliant choreographer Trey McIntyre who has set his work to three tracks by the legendary Amy Winehouse.

Since our first sellout performance at Cadogan Hall in September 2024 we have started to establish the Ballet Nights brand abroad with masterclasses and performances in Brisbane, Australia in September 2024. 2025 will see more Ballet Nights programmes and the launch of the first full-length ballet production for multi-national touring.”
