  • Summary

    This chapter considers the professional and amateur orchestral and choral organisations that intersected with Britten and formed the corpus of British musical life in London and regional centres, including such London-based ensembles as the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the English Chamber Orchestra, and the BBC Singers, and choral ensembles such as the John Alldis Choir, the Purcell Singers (formed to serve the Aldeburgh Festival), and the Huddersfield Choral Society, among others.
