What does home mean to
you?
Later
this year, following the Music Works
transformation, we'll be moving home to
the newly refurbished Howard Opera
Centre, a place where everyone will be
welcome to make music. The space will
be your home as much as it will be
ours, so we'd like to invite you to
join us in creating
something special...
Join professional musicians Thanda
Gumede and Dave Evans for a free,
six-week course of virtual songwriting
workshops starting
from Monday 22 February. Explore
a variety of musical genres before
creating and developing your own song
on the theme of 'home'. Your new songs
will be recorded and feature as part of
an interactive musical trail when the
Howard Opera Centre opens later this
year.
You
don't need to have any musical experience
to join this free course, just bring
along your enthusiasm!

This is
Edinburgh in February
|
| |
|
January,
the month that seems to last forever is at last over! The days are starting
to stay lighter for longer and snowdrops are starting to appear in parks
and gardens, a happy sign the spring is on its way.
And while January can
sometimes feel a bit lean, February certainly packs a punch, with plenty of
celebrations to look forward. Whether you’re a whisky whizz or don’t know
your single malt from your blended, celebrating
International Scotch Day on Monday 8 February is
a great way to learn more about Scotland’s national tipple.
Friday 12 February
heralds that start of Chinese
New Year. While there are no formal celebrations in Edinburgh
this year, we’ve got some suggestions to make it as fun - and traditional -
as possible.
So, gather family and
friends together for a zoom call (a pastime we’re all rather good at now!)
and celebrate all that February has to offer!

Valentine's Day in Edinburgh
February of course means
Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re a fan or not, we all need a bit of love in
our lives, especially at the moment. Our guide to celebrating the most
romantic day of the year is packed with suggestions on how you can
celebrate the day.
While we may not be able
to dine out at the moment, fear not as many Edinburgh restaurants are
offering delicious dine at home Valentine meals. A perfect occasion for
getting dressed up, lighting the candles and getting out the good china! 👉

What's on in Edinburgh this February
February may be the shortest
month of the year, but it's no less packed with shows, events and
exciting goings-on here in the Scottish capital
From boundary-pushing
animated film courtesy of Manipulate Festival, to learning about Modernist
architecture in Scotland with Dovecot Studios and Historic Environment
Scotland, there’s plenty of online events happening this month to keep you
hooked to your screen.
Find all the details in
our Guide to What's on in Edinburgh in February.
