English composer, conductor, and pianist Benjamin Britten has long been regarded as one of the central figures of 20th-century British classical music. Most well-known for his vocal compositions and opera scores, the composer’s oeuvre is vastly wide-ranging, with a dizzying output of orchestral, choral, chamber, and instrumental works. This immersive afternoon includes a dynamic video presentation, a full-length song recital, and a keynote lecture that spotlights Britten’s influence in celebration of the centenary of his birth.
