EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the legendary English composer Benjamin Britten in the midst of a rehearsal for his cantata, St. Nicolas, with the London Boy Singers in Orford Church on June 23, 1963. The setting is the picturesque Suffolk town of Orford, where Britten and his partner, the tenor Peter Pears, had established the Aldeburgh Festival in 1948. Britten's St. Nicolas, a work for treble voices, tenor soloist, and orchestra, was first performed at the festival in 1948 and has since become a cherished part of the choral repertoire. In this image, Britten, dressed in a smart suit and tie, sits amongst the young trebles, intently listening and providing guidance as they prepare for a performance. The boys, dressed in their Sunday best, focus intently on their music, their youthful faces reflecting a sense of excitement and anticipation. The year 1963 was a significant one for Britten, who celebrated his 50th birthday and was in the midst of a productive period, having recently completed his opera, "Death in Venice." The rehearsal in Orford Church represents a moment of creative intensity and collaboration, as Britten worked with the next generation of musicians to bring his music to life. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of Benjamin Britten and the Aldeburgh Festival, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of classical music to inspire and bring people together.
