World Premiere of KEIN at 18ème Festival MUSIQUES DEMESUREES
2016-11-11 20:00 - 22:00
Composer, writer and visual artist François Sarhan will design and make a set of new, invented stringed instruments for the performers of Red Note to play on. Integrating recorded texts from historical figures, this new work explores the relationship between voice and instrument.
By reconsidering the string instrument, Francois will create around eight new musical devices, keeping only the resonating string in each. Some will be based on traditional string instruments, adapted with strange bodies and horns, and some will not be like anything you might come across in a concert hall!
The new instruments will explore the role and attitude of the player, giving him or her a much riskier, fragile and touching task as a performer; to consider the notion of performance; what it means, how to communicate, express themselves and share the music with an audience.
François has an utterly unique and distinctive voice and this project promises to be one of the most innovative and exciting works to be created this year. KEIN has its World Premiere at soundfestival’s sister festival, Musiques Démesurees, on 11 November before having its UK Premiere on 23 November at Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.

Ring Time Music and Movement Workshops for Dalcroze UK Centenary
2016-11-19 10:30 - 2016-11-26 18:00
As part of the centenary celebrations for Dalcroze UK, Sally Beamish has been commissioned to write a 10-minute piece for three instruments (high/medium/low) for plastique animée (PA). PA is a realisation of music in movement, aiming to make the music visible where dancers are trained to create a counterpoint with any music they may use, rather than move exactly with it.
Music and movement share many characteristics. This creative workshop gives dancers and musicians the opportunity to work together and learn from one another. All participants should come in clothes they can move in, and musicians are invited to bring instruments.
The workshops will be led by two performers involved in the première of Ring Time, with Monica Wilkinson, Dalcroze consultant, musician and teacher. Cost: £20 (£15)

Parlour Sounds by Patricia Alessandrini
2017-02-02 19:00 - 22:00 | Woodend Barn, Burn O’ Bennie, Banchory, AB31 5QA, United Kingdom
Parlour Sounds is a multimedia project involving kitchen devices, and housekeeping aids in a subversive, experimental electronic aesthetic. Coming out of Patricia Alessandrini’s Sound and Music Embedded residency with Red Note Ensemble, in partnership with the Conservatoire de Paris, it will also feature work by composers associated with the Conservatoire.
Incorporating live electronics, video and theatrical elements, Parlour Sounds will involve vocal elements and text performed by soprano and the musicians, in relation to their instruments (singing into the flute, transducing sound from the voice into instruments, etc). The project also uses interactive technology to transform ordinary household objects into electronic instruments.
Parlour Sounds is a female/feminist view of technology: set in a British home in the late 60’s, and sees the soprano interact with the technology she finds at home as well as audio technology designed for the home in a subversive, ‘circuit bending’ aesthetic.
The ticket price also includes food/dinner. Please arrive at 7pm. In partnership with sound, NEAT, Buchanan Food & the Barn

The Night With… Red Note
2017-03-01 19:30 - 21:30 | The Hug and Pint, 171 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G4 9AW
Programmed by composer Matthew Whiteside, The Night With… is a new series of salon style concerts presenting classical and new music in an informal environment.
‘I want people to experience and enjoy all music as music rather than have a separate series for new and old. In these concerts I’ve programmed a mix that will be in three short 15 to 30 minute sections giving the audience a chance to chat to the players, each other and any of the composers that are there. I want to develop this as a monthly series across the main cities in Scotland and commission new works’.
The series is kindly supported by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland’s Open Project Fund.

World Premiere The 306: Day
2017-05-05 20:00 - 2017-06-03 22:00 | Various Venues, Scotland Wide, United Kingdom
The 306: Day, the second part in Oliver Emmanuel and Gareth Williams’ powerful new First World War trilogy, is set to embark on an expansive Scottish tour between 5 May and 3 June 2017. The show, which explores how the conflict affected women, families, and communities on the home front, will open at Perth’s historic Station Hotel on 5 May before setting off on a Scottish tour. It will visit venues, town and village halls, and civic spaces across the country, including performances in Glasgow, Clydebank, Aberdeen, Dundee, Lockerbie, Galashiels, Ballachulish, Wigtown, Cove, Nairn, Arrochar, and Fort Augustus.
The first part of the trilogy, The 306: Dawn, premiered in the summer of 2016 and marked the centenary of the Somme Offensive. Audaciously staged within a barn in the Perthshire countryside,
Inspired by real events and first-hand accounts, The 306: Day will tell the stories of three women left behind in the wake of the executions, and their struggles to be heard above the clamour of the conflict. The year is 1917, and the war across the channel rages on. In Russia, a revolution is turning the social order on its head while at home in Britain, there are women fighting their own battles. Rents are rising. Food is scarce. And war work can be deadly.
The show features a contemporary score performed live by leading members of the Red Note Ensemble, who also contributed a deft and moving accompaniment to last year’s The 306: Dawn. Composer Gareth Williams is a long-term collaborator with both Red Note and Oliver Emanuel; the pair previously worked on The End of the World (for One Night Only) which Red Note commissioned, developed and staged in Edinburgh in December 2012. The National Theatre of Scotland also reunites with Perth Theatre and collaborates with Stellar Quines for the first time, under the new Artistic Directorship of Jemima Levick.
The 306: Day is co-commissioned with 14-18 NOW, the UK’s arts programme for the First World War centenary. Support for the tour comes from The Gannochy Trust, The Forteviot Trust, and The Thomson Charitable Trust.
