The Aldeburgh Festival has been a pilgrimage for lovers of classical music and culture since 1948. Every June it brings together new commissions, world-premieres and international stars on the stretch of Suffolk Coast which so bewitched its founders, the composer Benjamin Britten and his life partner, Peter Pears. This year, we will be celebrating our 76^th Festival, and our featuring the extraordinary work of artists including Allan Clayton, Helen Grime, Leila Josefowicz and Daniel Kidane.

Alongside our existing Hesse Student Scheme, we are inviting applications from those with a love for music to join us as Artist Liaisons. You may be a student or have an interest in forging a career in music and the arts, and this role would provide invaluable experience with a world-renowned Festival and Arts organisation.

During your time with us, you will be working closely with our Performance Programme team and other Britten Pears Arts staff, at all levels, to ensure that the visiting artists have the best possible experience with us.

Artist Liaisons will lead the care of our featured artists, supporting them and their needs during their stay with us. You will also take care of a number of other artists visiting the Festival, working closely with the Performance team Producers within the daily schedule.

You will also have the opportunity to engage in events that are run as part of the Hesse Student Scheme, and which are aimed at giving you an interesting and engaging glimpse behind the scenes of a world-class classical music festival.

The scheme runs from Tuesday 10 June until Sunday 29 June 2025, and you will need to be available for the whole period.

We are an equal opportunities employer and believe that diversity strengthens and enriches us. We positively encourage applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates of all ages and from all backgrounds, in particular from minority ethnic backgrounds and disabled candidates who are currently under-represented at Britten Pears Arts.
