Christmas, or Xmas for non-believers, used to be a quiet period in Edinburgh. It's less so now, although (Edinburgh's Hogmanay aside) it's still not quite as mad as the hurlyburly of the Edinburgh Festival in August.
St Giles’ Cathedral Choir with the St Giles’ Camerata are joined by an array of young soloists for a programme of music that marks the 250th anniversary of Handel’s death with his celebratory Coronation Anthems, including Zadok the Priest.
The Street Party is perhaps the best-known event in Edinburgh's Hogmanay Festival calendar. The New Year street party takes place the length of Princes Street, with live bands, dancing in the street, and street theatre troupes mingling with crowds.
