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. Their support has helped fund this project. \n

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:NORDIC MUSIC DAYS: AN EASTERHOUSE CHILDREN'S MANIFESTO INSTALLATION
DESCRIPTION: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. \nBorn 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. \nWe’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. \nNordic 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.

SUMMARY:SOUNDFESTIVAL 2024 - NORTHERN CONNECTION
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to perform Tine Surel Lange’s Flaskepost again at soundfestival after premiering it in 2023. \nFlaskepost – meaning message in a bottle – is inspired by the ocean connecting Scotland and Norway. Based on field recordings made in the Lofoten archipelago in Northern Norway (where Tine is based)\, the piece is diving into the depths of the ocean\, exploring the musical potential of the ocean itself as well as imagining the creatures and other things you can encounter in the depths. The piece also reflects on the ocean as pathway\, both for human travel throughout the times but also for enormous amounts of plastic waste that with the Gulf Stream end up in Lofoten from all over the world. \nWe will be joined by defunensemble\, Finland and Ensemble Temporum\, Norway who will perform Lauri Supponen North and Lisa Robertson am fàsach. \nTine Surel Lange Flaskepost\nLauri Supponen North (UK Premiere)*\nLisa Robertson am fàsach (UK Premiere)*\n \nRed Note Ensemble\nRuth Morley\, Flute\nTim Lines\, Clarinet\nSiwan Rhys\, Piano\nRobert Irvine\, Cello \nMatthew Swan\, Electronics \n  \nNorthern Connection is a partnership project between Music Finland\, Musica nova Helsinki and defunensemble (Finland)\, Music Norway\, Ultima Festival and Ensemble Temporum (Norway)\, Scottish Music Centre\, soundfestival and Red Note Ensemble (Scotland).

SUMMARY:Jane Stanley 'Cerulean Orbits' CD Launch & 'Coursera' Preview
DESCRIPTION:Released in July\, Cerulean Orbits showcases pieces composed by Jane between 2013 and 2023 for different chamber combinations\, and we will be performing some excerpts from her acclaimed work at the University of Glasgow Concert Hall on Friday 18th October. \nAs part of the evening\, Jane will also be sharing a preview of a new self-paced online course to be hosted by Coursera. The 12-week course provides a range of skills and knowledge to learners who have some prior music training to develop their technique and individual identity as composers. It will cover the journey from starting a piece to developing material\, through to preparing scores and parts for performance. Woven through the course will be regular appearances by Red Note Ensemble performing illustrative musical examples and sharing insights into topics including composer-performer collaboration\, notation\, playing techniques\, and ensemble communication. \nThe event is free but you will need to register to attend via Eventbrite. \nJane Stanley\n \nHelix Reflection\nSuite (*selected excerpts)\nFirefly Reflections\nTracing\, Entangling\nOneiroi (*selected excerpts) \nRed Note Ensemble\nRuth Morley\, flute\nWill White\, clarinet\nJackie Shave\, violin\nChristian Elliott\, cello \nRolf Hind\, piano \nPhoto credit: foxbrush \n  \n  \n  \n
