NORDIC MUSIC DAYS: AN EASTERHOUSE CHILDREN’S MANIFESTO INSTALLATION

A free installation of Red Note's "An Easterhouse Children's Manifesto" at Glasgow's CCA will be taking place as part of Nordic Music Days 2024.

Inspired by the 1931 publication ‘La Anarquia Explicada a Los Niños’ – an instructional manual for children published during the Spanish Civil War explaining the ideas and practises of anarchy – composer Brian Irvine and director John McIlduff worked with the children of Oakwood Primary School in Glasgow and Red Note Ensemble. The result was An Easterhouse Children’s Manifesto, a collection of seven musical animated video posters that explore key elements of “anarchical” thinking such as autonomy, kindness and human connectivity from a child’s perspective.

Born from Red Note’s 5 Places programme, which targets five locations across central Scotland, this Easterhouse collaboration is based on the ideas and voices of Oakwood Primary School’s pupils and their partnered groups from the wider community.

We’re thrilled to have these video posters  on public display as an installation in the Glasgow CCA Courtyard from Wednesday 30 October until Saturday 2 November, as part of Nordic Music Days 2024.

Nordic Music Days 2024 is a Council of Nordic Composers project, managed on their behalf by the Danish Composers Society in partnership with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
