Part of the Aldeburgh Festival. Booking from Wednesday 26 March.

Purcell's intimate early masterpiece 'Welcome to all the Pleasures' is contrasted by his most extrovert ode 'Hail, Bright Cecilia' for seven solo voices and full baroque orchestra. Britten's music was hugely indebted to Purcell's style and his own ode to the Patron Saint of music provides a worthy companion piece.

This is part of the Festival International d'Opéra Baroque. Booking from 15 March.

Purcell's Dido and Aeneas was the only great opera in English until the mid-20th century despite probably being the shortest in the repertory. Writing with a beautiful delicacy of touch, vivid vocal characterizations, and gloriously skilful word-setting, Purcell succeeds in taking the audience throung the whole gamut of human emotion in less than an hour, culminating in one of the greatest of baroque laments.

Dubbed the 'British Orpheus' because of his skill at setting the English language to music, Purcell composed sacred music throughout his creative life. This selection of Purcell Anthems includes 'Sing unto the Lord', 'Rejoice in the Lord alway', 'Let mine eyes run down with tears' and 'My beloved spake'. The programme celebrates the composer's genius alongside Motets by British 20th century composers such as Walton, Harris and Tippett.
