Things to consider

Britten's choral works range significantly in difficulty; start with his octavo collections if you're new to his writing, then progress to extended works and operas as your ensemble grows comfortable with his harmonic language. For chamber music, the Cello Suites and Nocturnal are standard recital repertoire but require secure technique; pair them with scores to understand the structural approach. The Faber Edition publications are printed scores shipped to your door, so order well ahead if performance dates are fixed.
