A monthly report from the world of music
Including

Benjamin Britten
"I felt that the alternative of just going on turning people away was too acute - I couldn't bear it."
The Aldeburgh Festival has made do for the last nineteen years with a tiny village hall. Last week the Queen opened a new concert hall which, adapted from an old maltings house on the marshes at Snape, will transform the Festival's capacity without changing its intimate character. Benjamin Britten talks to John Warrack about the hall and his plans for the future.

And from his home on the Island of Ischia, Sir William Walton speaks about his latest composition - the one-act opera "The Bear" which is being given its world premiere at Aldeburgh by the English Opera Group.

The Queen Elisabeth Prize
A report from Brussels on the important international music competition devoted this year to the violin. The programme includes part of the final concert by the winner with the Grand Orchestre Symphonique of RTB conducted by Rene Defossez.

Introduced by Bernard Keeffe.
