Due to the likelihood of strike action amongst Edinburgh City Council employees this Thursday, 23rd August, it is with regret that the scheduled lunchtime concert from the Band of the Moscow Military Conservatoire at the Ross Theatre in Edinburgh’s Princes Street Gardens will not now go ahead.
The show on Wednesday 22nd August will however proceed as planned at 12.30pm
One of the top attractions at this year's Edinburgh Tattoo (until August 25th) is set to make two special appearances next week in recognition of the popular support received from audiences who have witnessed their thrilling debut in the Scottish Capital.
Some of Russia's finest musicians are expected to steal the ear and ignite the imagination when Moscow's Band of the Military Conservatoire provide an enlivening display of music, movement and song at 12.30pm on Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd August at the Ross Theatre in Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens.
The 60-strong band, resplendent in full ceremonial attire, will stage a free one-hour show in the gardens with a repertoire which includes 'Kalinka', 'Subboteia', and 'Farewell to the Slav'.
Said Tattoo Chief Executive & Producer, Major General Euan Loudon: "This fabulous Russian band has taken the Castle esplanade by storm, so this is a great opportunity to catch an extended complimentary performance from one of this year's star turns."
This week's lunchtime events are a final opportunity to sample a free flavour of this year’s popular sold-out Castle esplanade spectacular.
You are invited to send a reporter/photographer/camera crew to record these two concerts.

Venue:
Ross Theatre, West Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh
