The International Festival culminates with Thank You, Edinburgh on the 27th August, a free concert from The Philadelphia Orchestra led by conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin. A thank you to the city and residents of Edinburgh, this special concert from one of America’s leading symphony orchestras takes place at the Edinburgh Playhouse and is also relayed live to the Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens.
