From the expanded programme of 2015 there is still more to be added, spreading to 55 musical, artistic and literary events over the whole three weeks of the International Festival and Fringe.
The best selling ROSL ARTS classical music programme which includes Bach or Beethoven for Breakfast, Chopin after Lunch, Mozart at Teatime and Jazz Brunch, are augmented by new events in the lunchtime slot of each week – talks on the history of colour, literary panel discussions on fantasy, heroines, detectives and Scottish poetry, and anecdotes about famous composers.
Consistent quality is assured by continuing to focus on showcasing ROSL ARTS prizewinning musicians whatever the musical genre.
