In the heart of Edinburgh, our mission is to facilitate talent and cultural exchanges, consolidating the local and international sense of community by tightening the cultural fabric.
Throughout the year, the Institut français d’Écosse hosts talks and conversations with authors, thinkers, and academics exploring literature, ideas and creativity.
Hosting an eclectic range of art installations, we also partner with museums, galleries and artistic residencies around Scotland to promote emblematic exhibitions.
Through concerts all year round, we bring the best of upcoming French music to Edinburgh! Close partner of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, and Live Music Now Scotland, our programme spans all styles. Be sure to catch our Baroque Music Festival in April and our Fête de la Musique concert in June!
Whether they are dancers or actors, professionals or amateur troupes, our versatile events spaces allow us to welcome a variety of stage artists and enjoy intimate and memorable performances.
