 The Britten-Pears Library\n\nThis world-famous Library contains a magnific
 ent collection of original manuscripts\, books\, music and recordings. The
  building was designed by Peter Collymore in 1964 and is situated adjacent
  to The Red House on the site of former farm buildings and provides a uniq
 ue and valuable research environment with full time specialist staff.\n\nT
 he unique archives include the vast majority of Britten’s manuscripts fo
 r his operas and other compositions (many on permanent loan from the natio
 nal collection at the British Library)\, the extensive correspondence of B
 ritten and Pears with other twentieth century musical figures\, the Aldebu
 rgh Festival archive\, and much other related archival material. In additi
 on the Library holds an important monograph collection originally collecte
 d and used by Britten and Pears during their lifetimes. New books relating
  to twentieth-century music and to the literary and artistic movements in 
 which Britten and Pears were interested are regularly added to this collec
 tion. The Library also subscribes to a wide range of music journals and a 
 growing collection of online resources\, and seeks to acquire a copy of ev
 ery commercially available sound recording of Britten’s music.\n\nThe Li
 brary and The Red House also contain many inspirational works of art colle
 cted by Britten and Pears during their lifetimes. For example\, the collec
 tion includes many paintings and drawings by friends such as John Piper\, 
 Sidney Nolan\, Mary Potter Milein Cosman and David Hockney and modern scul
 pture by Georg Ehrlich and Willi Soukop.\n\nBooking Information:\n\nCost i
