The National Centre for Music, being housed in the former Royal High School in Edinburgh, has promoted creative director Jenny Jamison to chief executive.

It said this “will ensure strong leadership and seamless integration between both creative vision and the operational management of the new National Centre for Music.

Carol Nimmo, trustee of the centre and chair of the Royal High School Preservation Trust, said: “Jenny’s impact as creative director has been transformative, driving the vision and plans for the National Centre.

“Her passion, expertise, and reputation in the music sector make her ideally placed to take this unique project forward, leading both its creative direction and organisational development.”
