 One of the top attractions at this year's Tattoo is set to make two special appearances in recognition of the popular support received from audiences who have witnessed their thrilling debut in the Scottish Capital.
Some of Russia's finest musicians are expected to steal the ear and ignite the imagination when Moscow's Band of the Military Conservatoire provide an enlivening display of music, movement and song at 12.30pm on Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd August at the Ross Theatre in Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens. The 60-strong band, resplendent in full ceremonial attire, will stage a free one-hour show in the gardens with a repertoire which includes 'Kalinka', 'Subboteia', and 'Farewell to the Slav'. Said Tattoo Chief Executive & Producer, Major General Euan Loudon: "This fabulous Russian band has taken the Castle esplanade by storm, so this is a great opportunity to catch an extended complimentary performance from one of this year's star turns." This week's lunchtime events are a final opportunity to sample a free flavour of this year’s popular sold-out Castle esplanade spectacular. Event: Free shows featuring some of Russia's international musical ambassadors.
