Lives in Harmony: the Red House and the archive of Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears

Dr Christopher Hilton, Head of Archive and Library at the Britten Pears Archive, Suffolk, celebrates the life and work of leading 20th century British composer Benjamin Britten. The talk introduces the Red House, the former home of Benjamin Britten and his life partner, the English tenor Peter Pears. Sharing documents from the Britten Pears Archive, Dr Hilton provides a fascinating insight into the role which Aldeburgh played in both Britten’s personal and professional life. Norfolk Record Office is currently working in partnership with the Britten Pears Archive through an audio preservation project called Unlocking Our Sound Heritage. Unlocking Our Sound Heritage is a project led by the British Library and made possible due to the generous support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Norfolk Record Office is one of ten nationwide Unlocking Our Sound Heritage hubs, preserving collections of historically significant sound recordings from across the Eastern Counties. Norfolk Record Office is delighted to be working in partnership with the Britten Pears Archive to digitally preserve a collection of magnetic audio tape reels, which document performances held at the Aldeburgh Festival between the years 1970 and 1980.
