Booking Information

The Edinburgh Society of Musicians owns a beautiful Jacobean style recital room overlooking Dean Village in the West End of the city. Chamber music recitals are given every Saturday evening at 8 pm from early October until the end of June.

There are wonderful rehearsal facilities which include the use of Steinway and Bosendorfer grand pianos. A Zuckermann: Flemish V harpsichord built in 1978 is available also. Pianists (including 2-piano duos), recitalists, chamber music groups, small choirs and new baroque ensembles will find it an attractive venue to prepare for their concerts. The society has a list of music teachers; you may wish to consult or add your name and details to the list.

The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music use the premises for examinations during the months of March, June and November. At other times, the rooms may also be available for members to rent for tuition, rehearsals and performances but subject to certain conditions due to the age and physical limitations of the building eg:

availability of an ESM steward to open up and lock up
no entrance fee may be charged
dancing is not allowed
the premises may not be used for parties
alcohol may not be sold or consumed on the premises
the whole building is a no smoking zone

The rooms are currently not available to rent due to ongoing building repair works, expected to last until November.

Important Note: In the interest of security and improved efficiency, we are changing our system for access to the premises from 1 October 2009. Please contact Salvatore Tomasino for information about our revised booking system and new access arrangements. Please contact Graham Bodenham if you are an existing key holder with old keys to return and if you need to request a new set of keys.
