Dunedin Consort will perform at The Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh on August 8th, 2026. The ensemble is renowned for its historically informed performance practice, specializing in music from the 17th and 18th centuries. Their approach emphasizes clarity of texture and articulation, often employing period instruments and striving for vocal and instrumental sound worlds reflective of the composers’ original intentions. They are particularly celebrated for their interpretations of Bach, Handel, and Purcell, frequently performing complete liturgical works and dramatic oratorios.

The Queen’s Hall is a significant concert venue in Edinburgh, Scotland. Originally built as an assembly hall for the Trades League of Edinburgh in 1823 by William Henry Playfair, it underwent a major refurbishment and re-opened as a dedicated concert hall in 1979. The building is noted for its excellent acoustics and its role in hosting a diverse range of musical genres, including classical, jazz, folk, and contemporary music. It's a Category A listed building reflecting neoclassical architectural design principles. Throughout its history, it has been a central location for performances during the Edinburgh International Festival and continues to be a prominent cultural hub within the city.
