We are shaped by the city with 110 concerts taking place in theatres, parks and clubs in the city centre as well as in every ward in the city.
We present a programme that spans the entire history of the music from ragtime to modern jazz to Chicago blues and beyond. Our programming is bespoke for our audiences and regularly features new commissions, new projects and exciting collaborations with creative musicians from both home and abroad.
We champion Scottish musicians. They form the beating heart of the programme, we believe in the depth and breadth of talent that exists in Scotland and believe that our homegrown Scottish artists are talents that demand to be heard.
We also help to develop young artists, supporting them through their careers as they grow and develop towards the international stage.
We embrace and celebrate internationalism, bringing some of the finest artists working in the world today to Edinburgh.
Beyond the stage we also take responsibility towards enhancing people’s lives. Our Learning & Participation programmes help break down barriers to access the arts and expose people of all ages and abilities to the transformational power of music.
