Please donate to ensure that, despite the unprecedented impact of Covid-19, Snape Maltings and The Red House can remain places of inspiration for our communities, audiences and artists for generations to come. Thank you.
Festival Memories
As part of our Celebration of Aldeburgh Festivals, we are aiming to build a memory store covering each year of the 72 year of the Aldeburgh Festival. We have started building a timeline of memories below and we would love you to contribute. To send us your memories, please fill in this simple online form.
Aldeburgh Musicircus online experience
In his piece Musicircus, John Cage invites many artists to perform different pieces in the same space at the same time. As Cage said, ‘You won’t hear anything: you’ll hear everything’. In 2014 we expanded this idea, assembling nearly 1,000 performers across Aldeburgh’s centre and seafront – the largest ever gathering of musicians in the town. You can now create your own version of the experience, using our interactive Aldeburgh Musicircus web app.
