Instrumental / Vocal / Composition
Applications open: Monday 5 September 2016
Application deadline: Monday 7 November 2016 4pm GMT
The Britten–Pears Young Artist Programme was founded over 40 years ago by Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears to provide high-level performance training for the world’s best emerging professional musicians. Residential projects and masterclasses take place throughout the year in the beautiful surroundings of the Suffolk coast where Britten lived and worked.
Participants benefit from an exceptional campus of performance spaces and studios which has grown around the world-famous Snape Maltings Concert Hall, home of the Aldeburgh Festival. The Britten–Pears Young Artist Programme hosts some of the world’s finest performers and teachers who lead, and often participate in, intensive projects which mostly culminate in high-profile performances.
There are no course fees charged to BPYAP participants. Additionally, we cover return travel from London to Aldeburgh, most international travel, accommodation in Aldeburgh and lunches on working days. This leaves you to cover UK ground travel to London as well as your breakfast and evening meals whilst on courses.
Applicants will hear the result of their application by email no later than Monday 27 February 2017 at the latest. Successful applicants to the Britten-Pears Orchestra course will be notified before the end of 2016.
