It’s a grand title befitting someone persuasive, flamboyant and powerful; and it’s the title that marks an ambitious year for Orchestra Wellington and Music Director Marc Taddei. Diaghilev is the Impresario associated with much of the great art of the early 20th century who gave the young Stravinsky his first commissions through his company the Ballets Russes. Orchestra Wellington performs three of those ballets this year.
