About St Xavier High School
St Xavier High School, a student and youth company, present Playlist at The Vault for Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show is a devised, new writing piece that explores the role of music and silence in our lives. It examines how music surrounds us in our homes, cars and workplaces, and how we exercise and shop to it, share it, talk about it and travel to hear it live. The performance asks why music brings us together, separates us, changes us and defines us — and ultimately why we need it. The show runs for 40 minutes.
Why see this show?
A thoughtful, student-created exploration of why music matters so deeply to everyday life. Devised and written by young performers, it offers a fresh and personal perspective on something universal — ideal for curious audiences of all ages.
