Tanz/haus : triptych 2017 by James Dillon at Transit Festival
2018-10-13 17:30 - 18:15 (Europe/London)
Festival 20/21 puts its unique focus on the superb music of the 20th and 21st centuries, in all its richness and diversity and Red Note are delighted to be taking James Dillon’s RPS Award Winning Tanz/haus : triptych 2017 to Leuven in Belgium.
Transit has a soft spot for new talent, likes to support young composers and eagerly seeks out interesting new developments. But all that young power should also be combined with a Genuine Figurehead once it’s time. Tanz/haus : triptych 2017 is a new, concert-length work by master composer James Dillon, which was an immediate hit at its premiere in Huddersfield. It’s a work whose creation Transit are proud to have co-commissioned.

Aeolian at Sound festival 2018
2018-10-27 18:00 - 19:00 | The Lemon Tree, Aberdeen, AB24 5AT
“Aeolian” – relating to or arising from the action of the wind.
Aeolian draws its inspiration and title from the “breath” of the accordion.
Norwegian composer Maja S.K. Ratkje, UK installation artist Kathy Hinde, and Danish accordionist Andreas Borregaard have collaborated to create this deeply-integrated new work that combines newly-designed air-powered instruments with live musicians to create a new part-performance, part kinetic-sculptural work.
Commissioned by Red Note Ensemble, Aeolian won a Scottish Award for New Music earlier in the year following its premiere performance at hcmf//.
Aeolian is supported by Creative Scotland and Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.

There will be a soundconversation after the performance.
