As a young musician, Hesketh was spellbound by the sounds and colours of the ballet music commissioned for the Ballets Russes company by Serge Diaghilev- the great ballets by Stravinsky, Debussy, Ravel and Prokofiev.
Diaghilev Dances is Hesketh's homage to this great legacy, which he describes as `a miniature ballet consisting of an introduction, three dances and three entr'actes'.
