Venue: Cadogan Hall, London

Another tick for the Ballet Nights team, the audience at Cadogan Hall enjoying a varied and exceptional programme of new and legacy works.

Kevin John Edusei, Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra celebrate the joys of a life well-lived – rounded off to the sounds of larks ascending. 

The Czech orchesta and Daniel Raiskin bring Janáček from Ostrava, along with evergreen Bruch and a noisy Shostakovich Tenth Symphony. 

Ballet Nights is an ambitious dance project that began two and a half years ago and was the brainchild of founder, Jamiel Devernay-Laurence. Lots to applaud while celebrating its tenth programme.

At Cadogan Hall, Bell’s account of Robert Schumann’s Spring Symphony is as sunny an interpretation as you’re likely to hear. 

Jamiel Devernay-Laurence’s winning formula for his Ballet Nights series has brought in new and old works, concert and dance, and continues to push the boundaries into 2026.

In true Ballet Nights tradition, Bound in Motion presented the Cadogan Hall audience with an eclectic mix of old and new works and some outstanding performances.

Ballet Nights 008 – Spring into Summer proved to be a judicious choice of quality and diverse repertoire.
