About the show
Following its acclaimed debut in 2024, the prestigious Edinburgh Royal Mile Royal International Piano Series returns with a complete cycle of Beethoven's 32 Piano Sonatas, performed across the 2026-27 season. Showcasing exceptional talent from leading UK and international pianists, each recital offers a unique perspective on some of the most profound and beloved works in the piano repertoire.
This season marks the 200th anniversary of Beethoven's death - these concerts pay a fitting tribute to his great genius, two centuries on.
Set against the magnificent backdrop of St Giles' Cathedral - illuminated by candlelight and enhanced by a newly installed Steinway grand piano - these concerts promise an unforgettable musical experience at the heart of Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile.
