Helping grow interest in 2011 Festival

EDinburgh International Festival director Jonathan Mills has chrysanthemums on his mind, as he launched the Asian-inspired programme for this year's Festival.

The flower was chosen as the image for the front of this year's programme, which is packed with shows designed to highlight the culture of countries such as China, Japan and India, and also the inspiration they have provided to western artists and performers.

The Edinburgh International Festival runs from August 12 to September 4.
