Details have been released of a month-long digital programme series, Edinburgh International Festival At Home – in partnership with abrdn.

Celebrating the Festival’s 75th year, the At Home programme is available for free, worldwide, and will feature 16 videos released throughout November.

The programme comprises a set of five short films titled Edinburgh is a Story, two full-length concerts performed at the 2022 International Festival, a series of six intimate music sessions, and a behind-the-scenes video that includes artist interviews.

The Festival commissioned Glasgow-based production company Forest of Black to produce Edinburgh is a Story, five short films which come together to create a journey through the city.

Each is filmed in an iconic Edinburgh location and creates an intimate portrait of an artist featured in this year’s Festival programme.

A series of exclusive music sessions captured backstage throughout the 2022 Edinburgh International Festival  also feature, including a performance from the Takács Quartet, Jordi Savall with members of his Hespèrion XXI ensemble, Gaelic vocal trio Sian performing as part of Niteworks: Comann, contemporary Celtic music pioneer Brighde Campbell and Iranian musician Aref Ghorbani.

The sessions open with the Scottish indie rock duo Arab Strap.

The At Home programme will run from the 27th of October to the 1st of December with three digital releases per week, each at 4pm. All releases are freely available to be watched from anywhere in the world here or via the Edinburgh International Festival YouTube Channel.

Francesca Hegyi, Chief Executive, Edinburgh International Festival said: “It was so encouraging to see our audiences return to the city’s concert halls and theatres in our 75th year, the anticipation of this year’s Festival was high and the artists delivered.

“Not everyone can make it to our live performances, however, and the At Home programme gives a taste of what we have on offer at the International Festival. We couldn’t do this without the support of abrdn, so it’s with great appreciation to them that we unveil this programme.

“It’s available for free and from anywhere in the world, so wherever you are this November you can transport yourself to Edinburgh in August.”
