About This Event

The Edinburgh International Festival hosts a dementia-friendly concert featuring the Scottish Rising Stars of Jazz at The Queens Hall on 30 August 2026. Tickets are priced at £10 for this event with a relaxed atmosphere.

Experience a relaxed atmosphere and lively music with our Scottish Rising Stars of Jazz. Join our Scottish Rising Stars of Jazz and presenter Lucy Drever for two Dementia-Friendly concerts. Revisit well-known jazz standards and explore new sounds, coupled with conversation, tea and cake. These relaxed performances are designed especially for people living with dementia and their caregivers, family and friends to enjoy familiar music in a comfortable environment. You are welcome to move around the auditorium, arrive early and take breaks. Don't feel the need to rush off, as you will be welcome to use the cafe area for 30 mins after the performance, so you can collect yourself before heading outside.
