AGM 2018 - 24 November 2:30pm
St Cecilia's Hall - Details on News & Events page

 ​Welcome to the Friends' website

The Friends work to :
  • raise funds to buy instruments
  • acquire books and other material about the history of the instruments
  • organise and promote educational projects
  • help generally with the work of the Hall and the Collection.
  • provide student bursaries for early music and early music technology.

Our main fundraising effort is our series of concerts for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. 

In addition, we sell books connected with the collection, plus technical drawings, data-sheets and photographs of instruments in the Collection.

The major program of restoration and redevelopment on the building is now complete.  The opening concert took place on Wednesday 10th May in the Sypert Concert Room where the Edinburgh University Principal thanked all those who donated funds and those involved in the restoration project. John Kitchen played harpsichord and organ.
