Our ambition is to blend high-art conservatoire performance standards with experimental and boundary-pushing attitude of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Moonlight is also inspired by our relationship with Live Music Now Scotland, a charity who challenge musicians to reach audiences who would not normally have access to classical music. Our aim is to make classical music accessible for all and to make classical music (which is often performed in 19th century etiquette and presentation) appealing to the demands and expectations of a 21st Century audience. moonlightconcerts.co.uk

Museums

The San Cecilia Hall Musical Instrument Museum is a very well-known musical instrument museum. The museum is divided into two main themes. One is the musical instrument display, which can see the piano, saxophone, etc., as well as the organ and other large musical instruments used in the church. There are also staff on-site demonstrations of violin maintenance. The tourists are very participatory, quite good ～ I hope to see more of our famous classical instruments in China in this museum in the future!
