Introduction
The vast skies and moody seas of the Suffolk Coast have inspired generations of artists, including our founders Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears. Recognizing the genius of this extraordinary place, they established a world-class concert hall at Snape, sowing the seeds of a creative music centre unlike any other. Today it’s where successive generations of musicians and audiences can come together to discover, create and explore: an international performance centre with education and artist training at its heart.
We are proud that the quality of Aldeburgh’s work has been recognised by Arts Council England who have designated us as a National Centre of Excellence. However, a third of the revenue that finances the vast range of our activities has to come from private sources – individuals, businesses, trusts and foundations – who together make possible the continuation of our work.
