Program notes
The prestigious Prix de Lausanne has been a stepping stone toward international renown for talented young dancers since its founding in 1973, helping jumpstart the careers of ballet legends like Nancy Raffa, Darcey Bussell, Carlos Acosta, and Maria Kochetkova. For the first time in the event's 52 years, the 2024 edition will conclude with this exceptional Rising Stars performance, showcasing two former prize winners, Madison Young and Julian MacKay, who have already gone on to worldwide acclaim, alongside this year's finalists and newly crowned prize winners! You'll also get to experience brand-new material by the 2024 winners of the Young Creation Award, as well as a piece by renowned choreographer and designer Kinsun Chan, created during the competition week with the dancers from the Prix de Lausanne's partner schools and companies. Don't miss a single graceful step or gravity-defying leap!
