Kirsteen britten biography for kids

Edward Benjamin Britten, Baron Britten of Aldeburgh, OMCH (born Lowestoft, 22 November 1913; died Aldeburgh, 4 December 1976) was probably the greatest Englishcomposer of his time.

He came from East Anglia (a region in the East of England) and he often thought about the East Anglian landscape and the sea when writing his music. He wrote a lot of music for his long-term partner, the tenorPeter Pears. His operas include Peter Grimes, Billy Budd, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Death in Venice.

His War Requiem was performed in Coventry Cathedral in 1962 after it had been rebuilt because the old cathedral had been destroyed in the war.
