SUMMARY:Red Note Ensemble and Laura Bowler: Deconstructing Pierrot
DESCRIPTION:What happens when you take a so-called classical masterpiece\, smash it open\, and rebuild it for the world we actually live in? \nLaura Bowler dives head-first into Pierrot Lunaire\, dragging Schoenberg’s iconic outsider into an age of clicks\, feeds\, and digital self-performance. Glitched\, remixed\, questioned and reclaimed\, Deconstructing Pierrot dismantles the myth of the tortured clown and rebuilds it through contemporary sound\, text and image. \nBold\, unsettling and darkly playful\, this visceral music-theatre work speaks directly to a new generation while sharply re-examining a canonical work. \nCome get your expectations\, and your attention span\, rewired. \nDeconstructing Pierrot\nRed Note Ensemble with Laura Bowler (voice)\nJoan Knight Studio\, Perth Theatre\nSaturday 7 February 2026\, 7:30pm\nUnder 18s go free \n  \nRed Note Ensemble\nRuth Morley\, Flute\nTim Lines\, Clarinet\nTom Hunter\, Percussion\nSiwan Rhys\, Piano\nJackie Shave\, Violin\nNaomi Pavri\, Cello \nLaura Bowler\, Voice \nMatthew Swan\, Electronics \n  \nCo-commissioned by Red Note Ensemble\, Music on Main\, and Ensemble Offspring\nImage: © Robin Clewley

SUMMARY:The Big Give Match Funding
DESCRIPTION:We believe that new music belongs to everyone. \nAs dementia-informed practice grows\, many performances adapt existing work through training\, environmental adjustments and familiar repertoire. These approaches matter. But they often assume that people living with dementia can only connect with what they already know. We believe creating new work shaped by their own creativity can be just as powerful\, if not more so. \nFLOW asks a different question: what if new music belongs here too? \nOver the course of a year\, we will work with residents in Methil\, Fife and their carers to develop a new\, classical-style performance shaped by their ideas\, memories\, rhythms and responses. Workshops will test and evolve material\, allowing participants to influence the structure\, pacing and atmosphere of the piece. \nFor one week only\, every donation made through the Big Give campaign will be matched pound for pound. \nThat means your support will go twice as far in helping us deliver creative workshops\, artist development time and the creation of this new work. \nDONATE HERE\nInvest in new music that includes everyone.
