Nicola Benedetti live in City of Edinburgh

Experience Nicola Benedetti live on August 17th

Nicola Benedetti will perform at The Hub, Edinburgh on August 17, 2026. Benedetti is a Scottish violinist internationally recognised for her expressive and virtuosic performances. Her repertoire spans a broad range, encompassing standard classical works alongside contemporary compositions and a commitment to commissioning new pieces. She is known for her passionate interpretations and technical skill, frequently collaborating with leading orchestras and conductors globally.

The Hub, located in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, is a landmark building with a significant history. Originally built as the Edinburgh Royal Exchange in 1845, designed by David Bryce in a neo-classical style, it served as a centre for commerce for over a century. Following its closure as an exchange in 1963, the building underwent extensive refurbishment and reopened in 1999 as part of the Edinburgh International Festival’s infrastructure.

Today, The Hub functions as a five-star venue offering flexible performance spaces alongside offices for the Festival and other arts organisations. Its central location and architectural prominence make it a focal point during the Edinburgh Festival season and throughout the year for various cultural events. The building's Great Hall is particularly noted for its acoustics and ornate detailing.
