Summary

Live collaborations at the Edinburgh International Festival featured a four-concert series of historical Scottish music, which evolved into the live album *Late Night Sessions*. The concert included performances of Allan Ramsays ballad opera *The Gentle Shepherd*, an exploration of Orpheus with punk cabaret trio *The Tiger Lillies*, and an in-depth look at the music of 17th-century Scottish mercenary Tobias Hume. Furthermore, the event launched two unique residencies: Aldeburgh's *Revenge of the Folksingers* and *Purcells Revenge*, which merged traditional and early music styles while showcasing the diverse influences on Purcells' sound. This programming marked a significant expansion of the festival's offerings by pairing diverse musical eras. The specific performances provided unique contexts for these major works.
