SUMMARY:International travel survey for musicians
DESCRIPTION:International touring is a key part of the music industry. It’s great at creating cultural exchange. But it’s also one of the industry’s biggest sources of carbon emissions.  \nHow do we balance these things? We want to hear from musicians directly – how often you travel internationally\, what works for you\, and what doesn’t. What do you want international touring to look like in future? It’ll only take 10 minutes. \nThe Scottish Classical Sustainability Group is made up of 30+ classical music organisations\, but we’re also interested in the experiences of musicians working in other fields – i.e. folk\, jazz\, pop and more. \nThis survey will help us gauge current attitudes to international travel and better understand the challenges preventing the sector from lowering its international travel emissions.  \nTell us your thoughts here: https://forms.gle/EFjSdQ38pBG4WRBRA \nUsing the responses\, the Scottish Classical Sustainability Group will publish a report reflecting the current state of international touring. This will be shared across the industry and with funders. We want to inform how we can maintain international cultural exchange whilst taking better care of the planet.

SUMMARY:An Easterhouse Children's Manifesto wins at the Ivor Novellos!
DESCRIPTION:Brian Irvine’s “An Easterhouse Children’s Manifesto” (“A Children’s Guide to Anarchy”)\, written for ensemble and singers\, was named Best Community and Participation Composition. \nThe project was developed throughout 2022 as part of Red Note’s 5 Places Programme\, which targets locations across central Scotland. The result is a collection of seven musical animated video posters\, exploring ideas of personal autonomy\, kindness and human connectivity from a child’s perspective. Co-created with the children of Oakwood Primary School with libretto by John McIlduff\, it was performed by Red Note Ensemble and Oakwood Primary School. \nIn deciding the award\, the judges felt the project to be “a truly immersive experience for the young participants\, beautifully integrating contemporary music” and that “the authentic voices of the children shone throughout\, both in the creation and the performance\, making their contributions feel genuine and integral”. \nJohn Harris\, Red Note Ensemble CEO & Artistic Director said: \n“We are truly thrilled for Brian\, and also for the children of Oakwood Primary and the wider Oakwood community. This project has not only created something that is beautifully simple and profound\, it has demonstrated the wisdom of children and its power to teach us something in return.” \n“Thank you so much to The Ivors Academy for recognising this unique project for the very special work that it is\, and for giving the wonderful children of Oakwood Primary such a memorable moment.” \nVanessa Thomson\, Head Teacher of Oakwood Primary School said the award is a huge thrill for the entire school community. \n“Being awarded the prestigious Ivor Novello Award is such an honour. Our whole school community is thrilled and delighted. I’m sure you could have heard the screams of excitement from Glasgow to London! We have a long and wonderful partnership with all at Red Note and Dumbworld. All our children have revelled in all the experiences we have benefited from by working with professional musicians\, artists which have developed our creativity and connections to the world around us. This particular project meant that children co-created songs which allowed them to show autonomy and views about how to make the world a better place from their perspective.” \n“Bringing the EMC (An Easterhouse Children’s Manifesto) to a wider stage has meant that all the pupils at Oakwood Primary in Easterhouse\, Glasgow have a spotlight on them and their views\, putting Oakwood pupils voice centre stage. Being recognised in this way is a huge boost to every child’s self-esteem\, to their belief in the power of words and children’s voice. The fact that this was achieved in partnership with professionals who share their skills\, craft and time so generously with us has given Oakwood a truly unique insight into the power of the Creative Arts\, supporting ambition and achievement beyond the classroom walls. We are truly grateful for this opportunity.” \nDumbworld\, Creative Production Company said: \n“This award is a testament to the incredible children of Oakwood Primary School who have shared their wisdom\, joy\, and creativity. Their authenticity and insight have been at the heart of this project\, reminding us of the simple yet profound truths that often get lost in the noise of the world. We are deeply grateful to have had the privilege to collaborate with these young voices and witness their boundless talent shine. Congratulations to Brian and all involved.”  \nClare Hewitt\, Music Officer at Creative Scotland said: \n“An Easterhouse Children’s Manifesto is a brilliant example of the creativity that shines through young people in communities throughout Scotland. Together with composer Brian Irvine\, librettist John McIlduff and the musicians of Red Note Ensemble\, the children of Oakwood Primary School have brought their vision of a joyful\, connected and inclusive future to life in an incredibly vibrant way. Their work deserves to be celebrated through this prestigious award.” \nAn installation of “An Easterhouse Children’s Manifesto” was recently displayed at the Glasgow CCA as part of the Nordic Music Days Festival. Both the installation and the award are dedicated to the memory of Dominic Rossa\, an Oakwood Primary School pupil involved in the project. \nRead Our Creative Voice’s case study of “An Easterhouse Children’s Manifesto” and its impact here. \nRed Note Ensemble is supported by Creative Scotland and is a PRS Foundation Talent Development Network Partner supported by PPL.

SUMMARY:Join the Red Note Ensemble Board
DESCRIPTION:Be part of something amazing – Scotland’s new music ensemble is looking for a new Chair of the Board along with a new trustee with legal expertise and a new Trustee in Training. \nAs one of the UK’s most exciting and innovative makers and commissioners of new music\, the role of trustee means you will become part of a vanguard developing new works for the national and international stage\, supporting and developing young composers and musicians and working closely with communities. \nAlways forward-thinking and dynamic\, the company plays a leadership role nationally and internationally in the development of new music and the engagement of new audiences through its busy\, annual schedule of events. Our current Board members have expertise and experience at a senior level in arts\, marketing\, education\, finance\, and community work. \nSee details for each role and how to apply below. \n  \n—————————— \nCHAIR OF THE BOARD \nFor this role\, we invite interest from suitably experienced individuals at a Chief Executive level and would particularly welcome those with a background in the UK public sector and/or experience of a previous board membership and a genuine interest in music and the arts. The ideal candidate would contribute their knowledge and strong industry contacts and commit to actively support the ensemble by promoting and supporting the organisation externally. \nCandidates should share our values\, have experience in leadership or governance and have time to invest in supporting Red Note’s work and strategy. Previous Chair experience is not required but a plus\, though we do require strong leadership experience in a public sector setting. \nBoard meetings are held quarterly online\, and the Board meet once a year in person in Glasgow or Edinburgh for the annual Board Away Day. \nThe Chair is responsible for ensuring the Board works effectively\, leading the Board team and meetings and overseeing decisions taken. \nIn addition\, the Chair gives informal advice by phone or 1:1 meeting with the executive team as required and line-manages the CEO. \nIf you would like to have an informal discussion with the current Chair of the Board\, Ian Smith\, you can get in touch with him via email at ian65smith@icloud.com or call +353 87 442 2654 \nAlternatively\, please write to us explaining why you are interested in becoming Red Note’s Chair of the Board (no more than an A4 page\, single sided) and attach your CV.\nPlease send this to Red Note’s General Manager\, Flore Ducasse\, on flore@rednoteensemble.com. \nThe deadline to submit interest is Sunday 2nd November 2025. \nIf you have any questions that aren’t covered here\, if you have technical difficulties or have any access requirements\, we can support you with the application process.
