Aldeburgh Festival 2019 • Snape Maltings
Three Artists in Residence each curated a part of Aldeburgh Festival 2019. The excitingly individual voice of Austrian composer Thomas Larcher was featured, with his opera The Hunting Gun receiving its UK premiere. Festival favourite, outstanding tenor Mark Padmore performs in seven concerts and leads our Poetry and Music series. One of the world’s most charismatic performers, Barbara Hannigan appears as soloist, conductor, narrator, recitalist and mentor to the singers from her own young artist programme.
“How culture can become the economic engine in a rural area should be modelled on the example of Aldeburgh. Aldeburgh is a cultural destination with international appeal.”
Schweizer Musikzeitung
“A music festival should aspire to innovate, investigate, take risks, create relationships, be distinctive. These are things that characterise the Aldeburgh Festival.”
El Pais
★★★★★
Thomas Larcher’s special magic world, where harmonic niceties from music’s past rub alongside performance techniques that probably take us into the future.”
The Times on The Hunting Gun
★★★★★
“a breathtaking piece… Larcher’s music has the quirky richness of a coat made not only of rainbow colours, but of every conceivable fabric: a sonic equivalent of feathers, velvet, net, silk, brushed steel, burlap, lace.”
The Observer on The Hunting Gun
★★★★
“Larcher’s music invests this haunted tale with music of such sweetly seductive charm that it becomes like some addictive drug that you can’t stop inhaling.”
The Telegraph on The Hunting Gun
“Soprano Liselot De Wilde gave an incredible performance as our icon, handling Frederik Neyrinck’s tricky score in the most challenging of circumstances: laid on her back, in nude underwear, while being photographed. The 75-minute work asks important questions about our veneration of youth, beauty and self-promotion.”

Aldeburgh Festival 2016: Piano in the Reeds | Snape Maltings
Aldeburgh Festival 2016: 10-26 June
17-year-old pianist Julian Trevelyan, an Aldeburgh Young Musician, plays the piece The Curlew from composer Olivier Messiaen’s grand evocation of birdsong, Catalogue d’Oiseaux, in the reeds surrounding Snape Maltings on England's Suffolk coast. The curlew is the bird most associated with both Snape and the unmistakable call of the curlew is a feature of walking outdoors at Snape Maltings, audible across the reeds.
The centrepiece of Aldeburgh Festival 2016 sees Pierre-Laurent Aimard performing the entirety of Messiaen’s Catalogue d’Oiseaux over four concerts, from sunrise to midnight on Sunday 19 June, set against the panoramic backdrops and teeming wildlife of Snape Maltings and RSPB Minsmere. See
Birdsong fascinated French composer Olivier Messiaen all his life. Catalogue d’Oiseaux is his largest work inspired by birds, a 150-minute piece for solo piano which creates a rich musical language from the depictions of 77 species of bird that Messiaen heard in the Camargue region of south-west France. One of the world’s leading interpreters of Messiaen’s piano music, Pierre-Laurent Aimard creates a day that animates the piece as never before. Hear the birds evoked by the piano alongside the myriad real birds of the Suffolk coast amidst the region’s unspoilt expanses of reedbeds, marshy waters and sky.
Julian Trevelyan is featured at Aldeburgh Festival 2016 as a performer in the final-weekend Mikrokosmos project in a relay of pianists ( that also includes Emanuel Ax, Tamara Stefanovich, Håkon Austbø, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, local children and adult beginners who have signed up to Aldeburgh Festival’s Grade 1 Challenge (

Snape Maltings and Tunstall Forest Walks, Suffolk Walks In England, UK
Snape Maltings and Tunstall Forest Walks was about 6 miles in distance. The terrain of this route was flat with a combination of field and forest, paths and tracks; plus some quite road sections and some marshland boardwalks. Route finding was quite easy with obvious paths, good waymarking and good landmarks. Some of the tracks were a little muddy in places. There was just 1 very low stile to step over.

Handel: Theodora Racks, gibbets, sword and fire • BPYAP • Christian Curnyn • Snape Maltings
Bass-baritone Jonathan Woody and the Britten–Pears Baroque Orchestra, directed by Christian Curnyn, perform an excerpt from Handel's Theodora at Snape Maltings Concert Hall.
This Britten–Pears Young Artist Programme course (23 March – 1 April 2018) was directed by renowned British Handelians Sarah Connolly and Christian Curnyn. The full dramatic oratorio was prepared in masterclasses over the course of a week before being presented in a concert performance as part of Snape Maltings’ Easter Weekend programme.

The picturesque location of the famous Snape Maltings Concert Hall. A place of inspiration.
Aldeburgh Festival 2016 - a 17-day celebration with birds, circus and pianos at its heart
Aldeburgh Festival 2016, a 17-day celebration with birds, circus and pianos at its heart.
This year we opened with the spectacular verve of circus artistry as the richly-hued surrealism of Rimbaud’s poetry inspires Illuminations – Struan Leslie’s newly-commissioned staging of music by Britten and others.
The Festival centrepiece was the Catalogue d’Oiseaux project, a day that brought Olivier Messiaen’s grand evocation of birdsong to life as never before. Artistic Director Pierre-Laurent Aimard not only performed the whole piece over four concerts set against stunning natural backdrops from sunrise to midnight, but also programmed a final-weekend celebration of piano playing that brings to the stage international performers, brilliant young musicians and members of the public on our Grade 1 Challenge/
There were many more threads through the Festival: a four-concert residency from the French orchestra Les Siècles who are redefining period instrument practice; a series that juxtaposed contemporaries Britten and Michael Tippett; concerts that looked back 100 years with music composed during the First World War and premieres of new pieces inspired by the war co-commissioned with 14-18 NOW; and premieres and works by three featured composers, Julian Anderson, Benedict Mason and Rebecca Saunders.
Further highlights included John Eliot Gardiner and the Monteverdi Choir, Emanuel Ax, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Ian Bostridge, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Britten Sinfonia and projects from Solomon’s Knot & Mira Calix and Kit Downes & Tom Challenger that have been developed on Aldeburgh residencies, plus masterclasses with Thomas Quasthoff, Bernarda Fink and Pierre-Laurent Aimard, walks, talks, films and exhibitions, the 30+ non-classical events at The Pumphouse fringe, and free music every lunchtime on the Bandstand on the Beach.
