Music

The Royal High School Preservation Trust’s revised proposals to form new premises for St Mary’s Music School at the old Royal High School on Regent Rd were approved today (22/02449/FUL).

The plans entail demolition of later ancillary buildings, new residential and practice facilities, a landscaped public garden, and a new basement under the Main Hall for foyer and associated works.

Detailed proposals for a new National Centre for Music and performance space at the old Royal High School were submitted to Edinburgh Council this morning [bit.ly/3n6StBw]. We’ll comment once we’ve had a chance to peruse and digest.

As well as bigger educational facilities for St Mary’s Music School, the Royal High School Preservation Trust plans to create a café, gallery, visitor centre, and fully accessible public gardens.
