The Edinburgh International Festival opens the doors of its home, The Hub on Castlehill, to a series of specially filmed performances from leading chamber musicians. The recorded performances are available for free, with new performances every Monday to Friday from 10-28 August. The recordings are also relayed to speakers scattered across Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens for listeners to enjoy.
