6. Rituals That Unite Us
Nicola Benedetti tells the story of the Edinburgh International Festival, today exploring the part the festival plays in providing collective experiences that bind us together.
Today in this final episode, Nicola focusses on the theme of the 2024 festival, Rituals that Unite Us: the ways in which music can provide an opportunity to experience something really special in the community and building bonds between individuals along the way.
She looks at the ways in which the festival has joyfully broken down barriers over the years to give audiences new ways of enjoying and accessing music, and considers why it is an essential part of the festival's mission to do so.
