Aldeburgh Festival 2019

New music, old music, reeds, marshes, vast skies and the waves of the North Sea Aldeburgh in June offers much more than youd expect from a classical music festival. Three Artists in Residence each curate a part of Aldeburgh Festival 2019. The excitingly individual voice of Austrian composer Thomas Larcher is featured across the festival, 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 worlds most charismatic performers, Barbara Hannigan appears as soloist, conductor, narrator, recitalist and mentor to the singers from her own young artist programme. Further residents include pianist Stephen Hough, baritone Roderick Williams, composer-conductor Ryan Wigglesworth and cellist Alisa Weilerstein, and a three-concert return by popular demand from Belgian early music ensemble Vox Luminis.
