Access
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, it is not possible for us to present the 2020 Edinburgh International as originally intended. This year’s planned activity has been cancelled and replaced instead by a series of events celebrating Edinburgh’s enduring festival spirit that includes the My Light Shines On programme of online performances, a chamber music soundscape in Princes Street Gardens and spectacular lights across the sky in Edinburgh.
