Glorious early music concerts, in the heart of Edinburgh

It organises a regular series of Early Music concerts between October and March in three central Edinburgh venues: the New Town Church, Broughton St Mary's Church, and St Cecilia’s Hall, a unique oval 18th-century concert hall in the heart of the Old Town.
