Our Vision

If you scroll down to the bottom of the page there are some fabulous computer generated images of the final building from LDN Architects. I've had them for a few years now but have only just worked how to put them on as a slideshow! I'll leave them here for a while until I work out how to embed them on the left hand side without appearing as the size of a fingernail or falling off screen altogether. These are the images that remind me it's all worth it in the end...

Project Update

Since the information outlined in the previous media articles was published we have been working through some of the operational implications with the Project Manager. As of last week the two national orchestras - RSNO and SCO - were both at the stage of publicising their respective seasons. However, at this point there was information that we could not get from the contractor relating to public facilities for the pre-Christmas period. The RSNO is waiting for this information prior to releasing tickets and the SCO has arranged for it's 3 pre-January concerts to play at alternative venues. Here is a news link from today's Scotsman:

The move of the SCO to other venues has freed up valuable construction time as there will still be a substantial amount of work to be be continued after this year's Edinburgh International Festival. We will do all we can to help them with the last minute switch and audiences can still buy tickets for the concerts from January 29th 2009 onwards. We are expecting information from the contractor at the end of April which will help the RSNO with it's planning and ticket sales.
