The Artists

Shai Wosner

Shai Wosner

Shai Wosner continues to attract international recognition for his exceptional artistry, musical integrity and creative insight. With imaginative programming that communicates his intellectual curiosity, Wosner performs a wide-ranging repertoire from Mozart and Beethoven to Ligeti and composers of his own generation. Hailed by the Financial Times as "an artist to follow keenly", Wosner's virtuosity and perceptiveness have increasingly made him a favorite among audiences and critics alike.

The much acclaimed Edinburgh Festival Chorus is a group of talented amateur singers, established in 1965. Those who successfully audition join around 130 others in weekly rehearsals, led by Chorus Master Christopher Bell. This dedicated group prepare throughout the year for several concerts given during the Festival itself.

 
 

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

Formed in December 1935 by Scottish composer and conductor Ian Whyte, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra is recognised as one of the UK’s leading orchestras. The winner of several awards, including a Royal Philharmonic Society Award (the only Scottish orchestra to do so) and four Gramophone Awards, its wide repertoire and flexible approach to format means it can perform a complex contemporary piece as a specialist ensemble alongside a major symphonic work. It has a busy broadcasting schedule on BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Television and also records commercially.
