About the event
From See Tickets's listing
Experience an enchanting candlelit piano recital within the awe-inspiring beauty of St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh. This special evening offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich, passionate sound world of Sergei Rachmaninov in one of the city's most atmospheric settings. The programme features the dramatic Piano Sonata No. 2 in its revised version, alongside a selection from the celebrated Preludes Op. 23 - works that reveal the full expressive power of Rachmaninov's writing, from moments of intimate reflection to sweeping virtuosity. The evening also includes Tchaikovsky's evocative October from 'The Seasons' and the dazzling Flight of the Bumblebee in Rachmaninov's thrilling arrangement of the Rimsky-Korsakov classic. Performed by acclaimed concert pianist Warren Mailley-Smith, this promises to be an unforgettable evening of musical intensity, lyricism and virtuosity beneath the vaulted ceilings of one of Edinburgh's most iconic landmarks.

How I list these
Everything here comes from the feeds of the ticket and experience sellers I work with: See Tickets. That's a lot, but it isn't everything on in Edinburgh: venues that sell their own tickets, or sell through sellers whose feeds don't reach me, won't show here yet.
Events are in date order, and a show on several dates appears once, on its first, with how many more there are. Things to do any day start with the seller's own UK picks, then those rated 4.5 or more, guided before self-guided, shared before private, then by rating and price. Every ticket link is an ad: if you buy, the seller may pay me commission, at no cost to you. Commission never changes what's listed or the order.
A price is the seller's lowest for one ticket (or one person, when two book a tour together), as its feed gives it, and I've checked on each seller's own pages what it covers. See Tickets's includes its booking fee, and it adds an order fee to each booking (£1.25 to £4 on the events I checked), which I show beside the price. Where I haven't checked what a seller's price covers, or its feed is more than a day and a half old, I show no price at all.
I don't list resold tickets for football in England and Wales, or for any match in a UEFA or FIFA competition: selling or advertising them without the organiser's permission is a crime (section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994). Times are UK times. Events change and sell out, so the seller's page is the final word.
