Old Royal Pianodrome
Three wider deeper ‘wedges’ of seating together make up our second Pianodrome amphitheatre named after the Old Royal High School on Calton Hill for which it was built in collaboration with St. Mary’s Music School and the Royal High Preservation Trust generously funded by an anonymous donor as a bespoke installation during the summer of 2022.
More efficient and portable than the original Grand Pianodrome the Old Royal Pianodrome is ideal as a touring rig and is currently in resonance at the Wee Hub, Leith.
If you would like to put the Old Royal Pianodrome at the centre of your festival please get in touch.
