Edinburgh Renaissance Band: Music for Saints and Sinners 2026
We presented a show with this name in 2000. Saints are still in short supply, sinners perhaps less so – but this is a new and delightful selection of religious and secular vocal and instrumental music from medieval and Renaissance Europe and Central America. The huge variety of the pieces is matched by our enormous range of period instruments of every family. The presentation is friendly and informative, and the musicians are happy to chat about instruments and music afterwards. This is early music as it should be, and we welcome children (whose tickets are free!) Ticket price: adults £10.00 plus booking fee £1.50 via Eventbrite; school-age children free (but need to be booked). Ticket price: adults £10.00 plus booking fee £1.50 via Edinburgh Festival Fringe; school-age children free (but need to be booked). Ticket price: adults £10.00; school-age children free (but need to be booked) - at door, subject to availability. |
