The festival is not just about music, nor is it limited to Snape and Aldeburgh. Today’s composers are represented by, among others, Laura Bowler and Gavin Higgins. The festival – held mainly at the Snape Maltings arts complex in the village of Snape – gives a showcase to contemporary composers and young musicians, fulfilling its mission to act as a breeding ground for the virtuosi of tomorrow.Īlongside the world-renowned violinist Nicola Benedetti, this year’s featured artists include Mark Simpson, the clarinettist, the cellist Laura van der Heijden and the organist Anna Lapwood, who will play her arrangement of Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes.

However, Violet, an opera by the BBC Philharmonic’s resident composer Tom Coult, which will have its world premiere on Friday, is, one suspects, very much of the avant-garde school of which Britten would have approved. Roger Wright, the festival’s chief impresario and a man of refreshingly catholic tastes, has sneaked in a performance of Serenade to Music by Vaughan Williams – a composer of whom Britten (a man not generous to his rivals) certainly did not approve. While it remains faithful to the roots of its founders – Benjamin Britten, his partner, the tenor Peter Pears, and Eric Crozier, one of Britten’s key librettists – it also shows healthy signs of challenging the tastes of the great composer, which, along with the unquestionable genius of his music, have dominated Aldeburgh since it began. Spanning three weeks rather than the usual two, this year’s Aldeburgh is embracing greater diversity, in the true sense of the word. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that after its long pandemic-induced absence, this year’s festival on the Suffolk coast represents something similar: the celebration of a defeated, vicious enemy and a reminder that whatever the difficulties of the post-pandemic society, there is much to look forward to.

Founded in 1948, Aldeburgh is a reminder of the spirit of post-war Britain when a torrent of talent and creativity broke out after years of sacrifice and preoccupation.
Next Friday will see the opening of the first Aldeburgh Festival for three years.
