CMS is proud to support a unique ballet performance by English National Ballet at the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, this Monday 1st June.
Dancing an exclusive programme inside this famous Russian museum, this cultural event is a celebration of the merger that occurred earlier this year between the Moscow offices of the three CMS firms – CMS Bureau Francis Lefebvre, CMS Cameron McKenna and CMS Hasche Sigle. This merger created one of the most experienced and largest international law firms in Russia.
John Hammond, Head of CMS in Russia said, "CMS is very proud to have made possible this performance by English National Ballet in this magnificent, world famous museum. It is the first time they have performed in Moscow or indeed in Russia, and we are sure that it will be an enjoyable and memorable evening for the audience.”
Craig Hassall, Managing Director of English National Ballet said, “By bringing English National Ballet to Moscow, CMS are enabling the Company to perform in Russia for the first time in its 59-year history. Our appearance in Russia is particularly remarkable since we are one of the few companies in the world to have direct lineage from Diaghilev's Ballets Russes (the Russian Ballet), which celebrates its centenary this year.”
He continues, “English National Ballet are thrilled to have the ongoing support of CMS, which continues to demonstrate a creative and thoughtful commitment to the company.”
The relationship with English National Ballet dates back to 2006, when CMS hosted a unique ballet performance under the spectacular dome of St Paul’s Cathedral in London, which was attended by over 150 clients from across Europe. This was followed up in July 2007, with the Company’s performances of Swan Lake at the Château de Versailles, with the dancers performing on a floating stage on the Bassin de Neptune.
