It will be a major new venue for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the Edinburgh International Festival.
Architect Sir David Chipperfield said: “This will be a public building that relates to Edinburgh on a civic scale by both fitting in and standing out in order to perform an important social and cultural role in a city with strong established cultural traditions.”
