Our year-round programme has grown out of the Aldeburgh Festival, founded in 1948 by Benjamin Britten, Peter Pears and Eric Crozier, and is the realisation of Britten’s vision for a special place where established stars, young artists, amateurs and audience members come to broaden their horizons in an exhilarating creative and natural environment. Aldeburgh Music’s campus is centred on the iconic Snape Maltings Concert Hall and the organisation programmes more than 150 events per year including the Aldeburgh Festival in June, Snape Proms in August and Autumn and Spring seasons. Our artist development work includes the Britten–Pears Young Artist Programme for the world’s best emerging professional musicians; the life- changing programme for outstanding 8-18 year olds, Aldeburgh Young Musicians; Aldeburgh Residencies and Open Space Residencies, which give artists and ensembles the chance to take time out to develop new work; and the Jerwood Opera Writing Programme, a unique course for composers and writers. Meanwhile Aldeburgh Education runs a variety of programmes from Group A children’s choir in Lowestoft to the international mass-participation singing project, Friday Afternoons. About the Digital Media Internship Aldeburgh Music’s creative engine is its work throughout the year nurturing artists and facilitating the development of new work – through residencies, courses and masterclasses. Each artist residency has an Open Session, which gives audiences a chance to get a glimpse of projects in development and an insight into our work behind the scenes. The focus of the Digital Media Internship is to help communicate this aspect of Aldeburgh Music’s work through capturing and editing together video footage from these Open Sessions into short packages to be published on Aldeburgh Music’s YouTube channel and/or via media partners and to form the basis of an online archive of Aldeburgh Music’s work. Aldeburgh Music has recently invested in its capacity to produce high- quality video as a key part of our communications work and has employed a Digital Manager with specialist video skills. The Digital Media Intern will be trained and supported by the Digital Manager and will finish the internship with broad experience of working in the arts and with a portfolio demonstrating skills in filming, video editing, storytelling and narrative. Aldeburgh Music captures a high volume of video, audio and photography and the Digital Media Intern will also support the efficient archiving and logging of these materials. In addition, over the next 6 months Aldeburgh Music is undertaking a major project to create a unified website for Snape Maltings and Aldeburgh Music and migrate from an existing CRM (customer relationship management) system to a new one. The Digital Media Intern will assist with preparations for the CRM migration, including working on cleaning data on the existing database. Training will be provided in all areas of the job. .

  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.

  • Benjamin Britten in the Music Culture of the Soviet Union in the 1960S (To the 100Th Anniversary of the Composer's Birth)
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 14 [Special Issue - July 2013] Benjamin Britten in the Music Culture of the Soviet Union in the 1960s (to the 100th Anniversary of the Composer's Birth) Alexander Rossinsky Department of Art Altai State University Russia Ekaterina Vorontsova Department of History Altai State University Russia Abstract The period of the 1960-s was difficult and controversial. Former allies of the anti-Hitler coalition turned to be on different sides of the acute ideological struggle which nearly led to the world war. Tremendous work was carried by artists, musicians who united disparate peoples into the community calling for the universal values. The central place in such the sphere of music belongs to one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, Benjamin Britten. Together with the Soviet musicians he pushed the world back from the sharp ideological confrontation. Keywords: B.Brittten, P.Pears, USSR, M.Rostropovich, G.Vishnevskaya, D.Shostakovich, symphonic and chamber music. The events unfolding in the world, which had survived the most destructive war in the history of human civilization, were dramatic and characterised by multi-vector directions of their development. The countries that joined the anti-Hitler coalition in the 40s, in the 60s were experiencing the peak of their ideological hostility, teetering on the verge of unleashing the third world war. At the same time, the Soviet Union, headed the unpredictable and highly controversial leader Nikita Khrushchev, pursued a policy of flirtations with liberalism in an attempt to overcome the cult of personality of Joseph Stalin and remove the notorious “Iron Curtain”, which for decades had protected the USSR from Western influence.

  • Aldeburgh Festival 2014, Aldeburgh, Suffolk, UK – Review’, Financial Times, June 16, 2014
    Richard Fairman, ‘Aldeburgh Festival 2014, Aldeburgh, Suffolk, UK – review’, Financial Times, June 16, 2014 As a coastal county, Suffolk has faced its fair share of activity in wartime. During the first world war Ipswich and Lowestoft were the target of enemy attacks. Nearby Orford Ness, a haunting wasteland now under the protection of the National Trust, still carries the scars of its years as a military research site, including unexploded bombs and atomic-era “pagodas” for weapons testing. A few miles up the coast the Aldeburgh Festival is taking the centenary of the first world war as the theme for this year’s programme. Visitors to Orford Ness and Snape, home of the Maltings concert hall, will find photographic installations by Anya Gallaccio, comprising hugely magnified images of local bomb-blasted materials; they have been created for Snap, the festival’s visual arts programme. Similarly, the first world war theme runs through many of this year’s concerts. Born in 1913, Benjamin Britten was nearly a child of the war and his lifelong pacifism may have its roots in that conflict. An exhibition at the Red House, the composer’s Aldeburgh home, includes documents that relate to his controversial period as a conscientious objector in the second world war and a horde of receipts (Britten never threw anything away) for donations to the Peace Pledge Union, CND, Medical Aid for Vietnam and others. It follows that the centrepiece of the 2014 festival should be one of Britten’s most outspoken anti-war works: his long-neglected opera Owen Wingrave. Originally written for television, the opera still tends to get a bad press on the few occasions when it is performed in the theatre.

  • Britten's Acoustic Miracles in Noye's Fludde and Curlew River
    Britten’s Acoustic Miracles in Noye’s Fludde and Curlew River A thesis submitted by Cole D. Swanson In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music TUFTS UNIVERSITY May 2017 Advisor: Alessandra Campana Readers: Joseph Auner Philip Rupprecht ii ABSTRACT Benjamin Britten sought to engage the English musical public through the creation of new theatrical genres that renewed, rather than simply reused, historical frameworks and religious gestures. I argue that Britten’s process in creating these genres and their representative works denotes an operation of theatrical and musical “re-enchantment,” returning spiritual and aesthetic resonance to the cultural relics of a shared British heritage. My study focuses particularly on how this process of renewal further enabled Britten to engage with the state of amateur and communal music participation in post-war England. His new, genre-bending works that I engage with represent conscious attempts to provide greater opportunities for amateur performance, as well cultivating sonically and thematically inclusive sound worlds. As such, Noye’s Fludde (1958) was designed as a means to revive the musical past while immersing the Aldeburgh Festival community in present musical performance through Anglican hymn singing. Curlew River (1964) stages a cultural encounter between the medieval past and the Japanese Nō theatre tradition, creating an atmosphere of sensory ritual that encourages sustained and empathetic listening. To explore these genre-bending works, this thesis considers how these musical and theatrical gestures to the past are reactions to the post-war revivalist environment as well as expressions of Britten’s own musical ethics and frustrations.

  • Billy Budd Composer Biography: Benjamin Britten
    Billy Budd Composer Biography: Benjamin Britten Britten was born, by happy coincidence, on St. Cecilia's Day, at the family home in Lowestoft, Suffolk, England. His father was a dentist. He was the youngest of four children, with a brother, Robert (1907), and two sisters, Barbara (1902) and Beth (1909). He was educated locally, and studied, first, piano, and then, later, viola, from private teachers. He began to compose as early as 1919, and after about 1922, composed steadily until his death. At a concert in 1927, conducted by composer Frank Bridge, he met Bridge, later showed him several of his compositions, and ultimately Bridge took him on as a private pupil. After two years at Gresham's School in Holt, Norfolk, he entered the Royal College of Music in London (1930) where he studied composition with John Ireland and piano with Arthur Benjamin. During his stay at the RCM he won several prizes for his compositions. He completed a choral work, A Boy was Born, in 1933; at a rehearsal for a broadcast performance of the work by the BBC Singers, he met tenor Peter Pears, the beginning of a lifelong personal and professional relationship. (Many of Britten's solo songs, choral and operatic works feature the tenor voice, and Pears was the designated soloist at many of their premieres.) From about 1935 until the beginning of World War II, Britten did a great deal of composing for the GPO Film Unit, for BBC Radio, and for small, usually left-wing, theater groups in London. During this period he met and worked frequently with the poet W.
