Programme launched for this year’s Edinburgh International Festival

The Edinburgh International Festival (EIF) have launched their 2019 Programme with over 90 events happening at 17 venues across the city.

Running from 2-26 August, EIF will bring a variety of theatre, music and dance to Edinburgh. 

Performances will include a world premiere from Scotland’s national dance company Scottish Ballet, a trilogy of plays from actor Stephen Fry and a music concert from Jarvis Cocker at the Leith Theatre. 

As part of the festival, the University is supporting the St Cecilia’s Hall series of recitals. We are also a partner in ‘You Are Here’ - a strand which offers audiences and artists from around the world the opportunity to consider the role of arts in our lives.
