Story
Thank you for your generous support.
Any excess funds raised will support the installation and maintenance of the statue and allow us to provide attractive information boards about Britten's young life in Lowestoft.
OUR STORY: We are raising funds for a statue of the composer, Benjamin Britten, as a boy to be installed on the seafront opposite his childhood home at Lowestoft. In commemorating the town’s great composer at the tender age when his talent was recognised, we hope that this beautiful statue, by the royal sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, will inspire future generations of local children to achieve their ambitions. Once installed, it will be dedicated and gifted to the children of Lowestoft.
We hope the story of Britten, growing up in Lowestoft, inspires the town’s children to have the confidence to follow their dreams." — SOPHIE AND TAMARA BRITTEN (great-nieces)
