From the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, John Drummond introduces an evening centred on Stravinsky's three great orchestral ballet scores and Les Noces. The evening is also a celebration of the work and influence of Sergei Diaghilev , whose Ballets Russes in the years 1909-29 revolutionised dance, exerted an enormous influence on theatre design and gave rise to some of the greatest music of the period. Diaghilev and his collaborators were Russian, and their artistic influence was felt everywhere in the world except Russia. To begin the evening, John Drummond and David Bintley , artistic director of Birmingham Royal Ballet, explore the background to the remarkable period of Stravinsky and Diaghilev's great collaborations.

Russell Davies presents a history of jazz. 20: The Duke and the Count. As the Ellington and Basie bands established themselves, it became clear that they were very different. Duke's playing was rich in musical impressionism, created by the great individualists within the band, while the Count's was sharper, leaner and more aggressive.
