Description

The stars of the 2023 Aldeburgh Festival discuss the living legacy of two of its founders, Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears. How has their music, their relationship, and their determination to make music useful for the community informed their own musical lives? And why were they so affected by this quiet stretch of Suffolk coast?

Presented by Tom McKinney
Edited by Matt Jolly
Original theme music by Aldeburgh Young Musician, Laila Arafa
