Celebration brings together over 1,200 performers from schools across the county for one special week each year.

Every evening, we invite audiences to experience performance at its most joyful, with Suffolk’s young people in Snape Maltings Concert Hall.

Schools and community groups have come together with musicians and community leaders at Britten Pears Arts to devise their varied programmes and have rehearsed in school and at home in the lead-up to the week.

An unforgettable evening of music for all the family.
