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

SUMMARY:OUT NOW! CD Release - Jane Stanley: Cerulean Orbits
DESCRIPTION:This first portrait album dedicated to the music of the Australian-born\, Glasgow-based composer Jane Stanley showcases pieces composed between 2013 and 2023 for different chamber combinations. In addition to some of her favourites among her existing works\, Stanley took the opportunity to develop two new pieces: one for each of the two ensembles involved\, and specially adapted to their particular talents. \nA song cycle for The Hermes Experiment moves Stanley’s music intriguingly towards the tonal\, lyrical sound-world of that group’s two acclaimed recent Delphian albums\, while sharing with the purely instrumental music of the rest of the album – performed by Red Note Ensemble\, also acclaimed Delphian regulars – an audible preoccupation with gesture\, intricately ornamented melodic patterning\, and intertwining woven textures\, balancing decoration with energetic directed motion. \nListen to a preview of the album: https://www.delphianrecords.com/collections/forthcoming/products/jane-stanley-cerulean-orbits \n

SUMMARY:Development opportunity for Scotland-based composers
DESCRIPTION:Five composers will have the opportunity to develop short works for viola and percussion working alongside our players Fiona Winning (viola) and Tom Hunter (percussion) with Deirdre McKay as composer mentor. The new works will be performed during 2024 soundfestival. \nOpportunity description\n\nFive emerging Scottish composers will have the opportunity to develop short works of around 5 min for Fiona Winning (viola) and Tom Hunter (percussion) with mentoring support from Deirdre McKay. \nThis will take place over a period of 4 months with a mixture of online and live sessions (see key dates below). \nThe new works will then be performed as part of the soundfestival on Saturday 26th October 2024. \nKey dates\nThe successful candidates should be available to attend the following sessions:  \n\nOnline introductory session: Tuesday 2nd July evening\n1-to-1 mentoring sessions with Deirdre McKay and/or musicians (mid-August\, dates and times tbc)\nWorkshop session with Fiona and Tom: 21st September in Glasgow\nPerformance on Saturday 26th October 2024 at 12pm in St Andrew’s Cathedral\, Aberdeen.\n\nThis requirement is kept flexible for those living with disability\, or those for whom such participation might be tricky due to any other reason related to their underrepresented characteristic. You will be able to discuss this with us upon successful application and we will help find a solution. \nPlease note\, we offer this flexibility in order to open our opportunities for those with access requirements and for whom participation is difficult due to their underrepresented characteristic. If you are not able to attend those days\, and your reason is not related to the above\, please consider applying to a different opportunity. \nCandidates\nThe successful candidates will be Scottish-based ‘emerging’ composers. They will need to be able to articulate their development needs and how the opportunity would benefit them as this point in their career: \n\nby emerging we mean composers who are able to demonstrate a number of years of compositional experience\, but who don’t consider themselves mid-career\, or established. They can be of any age and background\, including those who have had to take a substantial career break due to maternity leave or other reasons\, or those who practised composition as amateurs in previous years and have now started to take steps into the professional world. They might also be those who had a career in another field of music and are only now identifying as composers\, or those who have just graduated etc. It is up to you to define yourself as emerging according to your own personal circumstance.\nby Scottish-based composers we mean composers of any nationality\, who have been resident in Scotland for at least 18 months. Scottish-raised composers who are studying elsewhere in the UK for a limited amount of time may also apply\, but will be expected to pay for any travel to get to Scotland.\n\nWe are committed to working with and supporting composers from under-represented groups. Female\, trans\, gender-diverse\, and global majority and Gypsy/Traveller composers\, composers from a low-income background\, and/or composers with a disability are encouraged to apply. By global majority we mean people from all ethnic groups except white British and other white groups\, including white minorities. \nExpenses\nA stipend of £250 will be available for each successful candidate who completes the opportunity. \nSecond-class travel within Scotland will be reimbursed\, as will accommodation. See the next paragraph (accessibility) for additional access costs. \nAccessibility\nAccess costs will be covered for those who require it. You will be asked about your accessibility needs upon successful application\, this will be discussed with you individually\, and the programme and schedule (where possible and required) will be tailored towards your needs. \nIf you need any accessibility assistance in applying for this opportunity\, please contact Kadri on info@sound-scotland.co.uk. \nHow to apply\nTo apply for the opportunity please complete this form: https://neartail.com/sm/jg81uRXTy  \nText\, video or audio applications are accepted.  \nIn the application form you will be asked:  \n\nYour name\, email\, age\, pronouns\, postcode\, and to confirm you are Scottish/resident in Scotland\, and to identify your underrepresented characteristic if you wish so\nWhy are you interested in this opportunity and how will it help your development as composer? (text\, or upload video or audio)\nBiography or CV (text only)\nSmall portfolio of your work: two PDF scores (notated\, graphic\, or description) and\, ideally – recordings/midi of the same pieces.\nYou will also be asked to fill in an equalities monitoring form.\n\nThere will be an online information session for all our current composer development opportunities on Monday 27th May from 12.30-1.30pm for those who need further advice or information.  Here’s the link to register for the session: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIpcuCtqTMpE9zlY1qHPcp2KN2OFGsjBfrI \nIf you have any other questions\, you can email Kadri on info@sound-scotland.co.uk. \nDeadline for applications: Monday 10th June 2024\nWe offer a 2-day “grace period” until the end of day on Wednesday 12th June for applicants who can’t reach the deadline due to health challenges\, having to care for family members\, or other reasonable and/or unexpected circumstances. Please state your reason in the application form. \nSelection process\nAs mentioned above\, sound is committed to working with and supporting composers from under-represented sections of the population. To enable this\, there is a two-stage application process: an initial selection is made\, and then this is narrowed down in a second stage selection process. If you are a female\, gender-minority\, global majority or Gypsy/Traveller composer\, disabled and/or from a low-income background\, you can choose to self-select automatically to the second round.  \nThe selection panel will be made up of composer Deirdre McKay and a representatives of sound and Red Note Ensemble. \nWe will inform you whether you are successful or not on the Friday 25th June. We may alternatively offer you a reserve place in case one of the successful candidates can’t take up the opportunity or needs to pull out at an early stage. \nNOTES TO COMPOSERS APPLYING\nWhat to expect \n\nYour creative process should start at the initial date of this project\, and continue throughout\, punctuated by online or live sessions with the composer mentor and/or musicians.\nYou will be working mostly individually\, using any medium of your choice during the creative process to help you generate ideas. \nAny mentoring sessions will be aimed at helping you shape your ideas into a suitable composition.\nFor the mid-project live session\, you will be expected to present a draft notated score and parts in advance for the musicians (you can use graphic or semi-graphic notation\, and/or text instructions\, if that is how you normally work). The deadlines for this will be given to you at the introductory meeting.\nAfter this you will be required to prepare a final fully notated score and parts for a date to be agreed with the musicians.\nIn between sessions\, it is up to you how exactly you would like to manage your process.\n\nIf you have any further questions or personal requirements in regards to this\, you will be able to discuss them with the manager and/or mentor of the project upon the successful application. \nWhat NOT to expect \n\nTutoring – your mentor is your sounding board and advisor\, but you are expected to work as a professional\, and will be making your own decisions based on your experience.\nTime management and preparation guidance – while we will provide you with a schedule\, we will expect you to manage your own creative flow\, and make autonomous decisions on any creative preparations for meeting with musicians\, etc. You will always be able to discuss any logistical questions (equipment\, access\, timeline\, etc.) with our manager.  \nPlease note that this is a development opportunity leading to a live performance of your work in the soundfestival. It may be possible to make an audio and/or video recording of the performance which\, provided the players are happy with the performance\, will be available to you for personal\, non-public use only\, including submission to competitions and as part of educational assignments.\n\nSelection\nSelection for new music opportunities is inherently subjective and the criteria used can differ from project to project. We are frequently over-subscribed and often the quality of applications is extremely high from a wide range of composers\, which usually means making difficult decisions. \nReasons for selecting one composer over another are not always to do with skill level or experience.. Usually we choose the composers that will benefit the most from a particular opportunity. We may also take into consideration whether we feel composers are the right fit to work a particular ensemble.  For development opportunities that happen in a group setting\, it may be that we need to take into consideration the coherence of that group e.g. we may prefer to have composers of a similar experience-level. We thus sometimes end up turning down composers with more experience or skills\, or giving opportunities to composers who we feel would benefit most from a particular opportunity at that stage in their career. Faced with difficult choices we may sometimes turn down composers who have already benefited from a number of opportunities in the past. \nWe would however encourage composers to apply for any opportunities that interest them and for which they fit the specification\, and not be discouraged if they are not selected for a particular opportunity\, as it does not mean that they are not “good” enough. Please do continue to apply for any opportunity that interests you! \nThis opportunity is part of sound’s soundcreators programme focusing on nurturing creative talent which is currently funded by Creative Scotland\, PRS for Music Foundation\, Hugh Fraser Foundation\, and Aberdeen City Council.

SUMMARY:FLOCK - Project Pitch at Classical:NEXT 2024 in Berlin
DESCRIPTION:FLOCK has been selected for the Classical:NEXT 2024 Project Pitches. The presentation will be on Wednesday 15th May between 14:00-15:15.\nhttps://classicalnext.com/project-pitches/flock-by-kathy-hinde-and-red-note-ensemble/ \nClassical:NEXT Project Pitches are targeted\, fast-moving opportunities for creators and those on the lookout for new creations\, a ‘seek and find’ for collaboration and inspiration. This format allows representatives from ensembles\, music theatre productions and music projects to offer rapid insight into their current offerings. \nMore on FLOCK:\nFLOCK is a 30 minute small ensemble piece with a strong visual element\, created for children and families of all ages. It is centred around a suite of newly invented playful instruments that use bellows\, pipes\, reeds\, whistles\, origami combined with the more traditional instruments; flute\, cello and percussion. Opening with a sonically and visually captivating performance by the musicians\, the audience are gently encouraged to become more involved until\, through their collective effort\, a chirping flock comes into being. \nFLOCK was co-commissioned by Red Note Ensemble and Sound and developed with Oakwood Primary School. \n

We know that their input and respective expertise will help us deliver our programme to the highest standard. \nIsla MacLeod: Isla is currently Head of Marketing at Liverpool Philharmonic where she works on a programme of over 400 events a year. A self-titled ‘audience advocate’\, she is excited to be joining the Red Note board in 2024 because of a shared passion for bringing new music to new audiences. \nDavid Sinclair: David Sinclair is an experienced fundraising and governance professional. He recently joined The National Lottery Community Fund as Head of Business Support in Scotland.

She is a volunteer Childline counsellor and a board member of Royston Youth Action. She loves how Red Note break down barriers to allow people to experience contemporary music and as a new member of the board she is looking forward to supporting them to deliver contemporary music as well as looking at new ways to reach those who otherwise may be excluded or feel unable to participate. \nDaniel Lewis: Daniel currently works for PRS for Music\, where he represents the interests of classical composers and publishers. Originally from Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales\, Daniel is passionate about ensuring that all musicians are afforded opportunities regardless of their socioeconomic background.

SUMMARY:Soundfestival 2023 - Northern Connection
DESCRIPTION:For the opening day of soundfestival 2023\, Red Note is premiering ‘Flaskepost‘  a new work by Norwegian composer and interdisciplinary artist Tine Surel Lange. This new work is part of Northern Connection\, a new and innovative project that aims to connect Nordic countries and Scotland by establishing and strengthening liaisons between composers\, ensembles and festivals in contemporary music.\n \n\nFlaskepost — 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.  \n\n \n\nWe will also perform ‘Light and Matter’\, an homage to composer Kaija Saariaho\, who sadly passed away earlier this year\, and ‘metamold’ by Canadian composer Bekah Simms.     \n\n\nTine Surel Lange Flaskepost (World Premiere)\nBekah Simms metamold\nKaija Saariaho Light and Matter \n \n\nRed Note Ensemble\nRuth Morley\, flute (bass\, c\, alto)/ solo flute\nTim Lines\, clarinet/bass clarinet\nTom Hunter\, percussion\nSimon Smith\, piano\nJackie Shave\, violin\nChristian Elliott\, cello \nMatthew Swan\, electronics \nGeoffrey Paterson\, conductor \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:Northern Connection Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Northern Connection is a new and innovative project that aims to connect Nordic countries and Scotland by establishing and strengthening liaisons between composers\, ensembles and festivals in contemporary music. \nOn 7th and 8th of September\, our players will meet with Norwegian composer Tine Surel Lange for a development workshop in preparation of the premiere of a new commissioned work ‘Flaskepost’ at soundfestival in October 2023. \nMore on this soon! \n  \nNorthern Connection fully started in the beginning of 2023. Other countries will join the project in the coming years. The project is initiated and led by Music Finland. \nEach country’s selected commission will be performed by one of the ensembles at a festival in at least one of the partner countries\, and possibly more\, during 2023 and the following years. \n\n\nNorthern Connection is built on the principles of sustainable development and ecological awareness\, and it enables the creation of long-term cooperative relationships between contemporary music professionals in northern countries. The commissioned works will get more than one performance and the ensembles will tour in the partner festivals in an environmentally sustainable way.​ \nIn this programme\, composers will get new commissions\, ensembles will get new material for their repertoire and festivals will get new programme from the neighbouring countries – which is sustainable and financially wise. New contacts\, ideas and networks will strengthen co-operation and bring additional value to the contemporary art field in the northern area. \n\n“It’s been a pleasure to plan a new type of cooperation with our northern partners. It’s especially gratifying to have Scotland with us in the project. Everyone is excited to join in and inquiries have already come in about when the project will expand and whether we can add more partners to the Northern Connection network\,” says Heli Lampi\, Music Finland’s Head of Communications and Promotion. \n\n\n\nMore information about the project at www.northernconnection.net \nPhoto credit: Tine Surel Lange

SUMMARY:REPORT - Classical Music and Train Travel in Scotland 2022-23
DESCRIPTION:Collated using learning and data from the 30+ members of the SCSG\, the report presents the five key barriers currently preventing greater use of train travel by the Scottish classical music sector. \nThe findings in the report are the results of a survey distributed to all SCSG members\, as well as feedback and learning from over two years of regular meetings. The report highlights the following key barriers preventing greater use of train travel: \n\n1- Timetables\n2- Ticket costs\n3- Travel with large instruments\n4- International connections\n5- Accessibility\n\nIn order to reach government emissions reduction targets\, it is vital that society as a whole finds new ways to travel. The report concludes that by addressing the above challenges\, transport providers\, local authorities and the government can support classical music organisations\, and concurrently audiences and society more widely\, to reduce their travel-related carbon emissions. The report is both a snapshot of the current situation\, and a summary that can be used to influence future planning decisions. \nYou can read the report here: https://www.creativecarbonscotland.com/scsg-train-travel-report/ \n

SUMMARY:CD Release - James Dillon: Tanz/Haus & Emblemata - Carnival
DESCRIPTION:Coming almost a decade and a half after the last CDs devoted to James Dillon’s music\, this twinned pair of digital releases in collaboration with Delphian Records presents two major works written for and premiered by our ensemble in the last six years. \nTanz/haus: triptych 2017 is one of Dillon’s richest recent conceptions: a 45-minute meditation on dance as a form of ‘trembling’\, featuring electric guitar and – as in so much of Dillon’s recent music – a prerecorded electronic track of immense mystery and power.The work secured for Dillon his fifth Royal Philharmonic Society award – an astonishing tally\, unequalled by any living composer.\nListen to the album here: https://orcd.co/james-dillon-tanzhaus \nCarnival\, the first in a projected series of ‘emblem books’\, is a compellingly sustained whole built up from a series of character pieces tailored to the imaginative as well as technical capacities of the Red Note musicians.\nListen to the album here: https://orcd.co/emblemata \n

SUMMARY:Development opportunity for Scotland-based composers
DESCRIPTION:The new works will be performed during soundfestival 2023. \nThis development opportunity for Scotland-based composers is part of the soundcreators programme\, which focuses on nurturing creative talent.\nsoundcreators is funded by PRS for Music Foundation\, Creative Scotland\, Fenton Arts Trust\, Hugh Fraser Foundation\, William Syson Foundation and Aberdeen City Council. \nThis opportunity is organised in partnership with sound. sound is a new music incubator based in North East Scotland\, initially set up to give local audiences access to new music. It is now renowned in and beyond Scotland for producing and promoting high-quality work\, for its support to composers of all generations and for attracting new audiences through its varied programming and inclusive nature. \n  \nDraft schedule:\nSession 1: Introduction to trumpet and guitar\, Monday 10th July \nWhere: Zoom\nThis first session will primarily be an introduction to writing for trumpet and guitar and will be led by both musicians and Karen Power. \nSession 2: 11th and/or 14th August\nWhere: Zoom\n1-to-1 mentoring sessions with Karen Power and/or musicians. The composers will submit short (approximately 30 second sketches) in advance.\nFollowing this\, the composers will work up full pieces for the third session. \nSession 3: Saturday 9th September\nWhere: tbc (Central Belt)\nThe composers will work alongside two musicians to develop new works. It is expected that composers will bring work in progress with them. The session will last a whole day.\nThe composers will then have until mid-October to make any last adjustments. \nRehearsal: Sunday 8th October\nWhere: tbc (Central Belt)\nHalf-day rehearsal of finished pieces with the composers in attendance. \nPerformance: Thursday 26th October\nWhere: Aberdeen\nA performance of the new works as part of the 2023 soundfestival. There will also be a rehearsal prior to the performance. \n  \nCandidates \nThe five successful candidates will be talented composers resident in Scotland. They can be at any stage in their career\, however they should be able to demonstrate a number of years of compositional experience\, and must be able to articulate their development needs and how the opportunity would benefit them. \nPlease note that we are committed to working with and supporting composers from under-represented groups. Female\, trans\, gender-diverse and ethnic minority composers as well as composers with a disability are encouraged to apply. \nFinancial support for the opportunity is limited to related expenses for travel/accommodation. There will also be a stipend of £200 per composer for a delivered piece to be performed at soundfestival. \n  \nHow to apply  \nTo apply for the opportunity please complete this Google form: https://forms.gle/JfYDDwugMPJV6Kfs6\n \nIf further information is required\, please contact Kadri Soerunurk on admin@sound-scotland.co.uk. \nDeadline for applications: Friday 16th June 2023\nWe are offering a 2-day “grace period” until end of day on Monday 19th June at 11am for applicants who can’t reach the deadline due to health\, having to care for family members and other reasonable and/or unexpected circumstances. Please state your reason in the application form.\nWe will inform you whether you are successful or not by the 30th June 2023. \n  \nSelection process  \nAs mentioned above sound is committed to working with and supporting composers from under-represented sections of the population. To enable this\, there is a two-stage application process: an initial selection is made\, and then this is narrowed down in a second stage selection process. If you are a female or gender-minority composer\, disabled\, from an ethnic minority and/or from a low-income background\, you can choose to self-select to be put forward automatically to the second round. The selection panel will be made up of the composer mentor\, a representative of sound and of Red Note. \n  \nNotes to composers applying  \nSelection for new music opportunities is inherently subjective and the criteria used can differ from project to project. We are frequently over-subscribed and often the quality of applications is extremely high from a wide range of composers\, which usually means making difficult decisions. \nReasons for selecting one composer over another are not always to do with skill level or experience. We may\, for example\, be looking for the right fit for us as an organisation at a particular point in time e.g.\, we may be looking to develop specific strands or activity or genres of music.\n \nFor development opportunities that happen in a group setting\, it may be that we need to take into consideration the coherence of that group e.g.\, we may prefer to have composers of a similar experience-level. We thus sometimes end up turning down composers with more experience or skills\, or giving opportunities to composers who we feel would benefit most from a particular opportunity at that stage in their career\, and faced with difficult choices we may sometimes turn down composers who may have already benefitted from a number of opportunities in the past. \nWe would however encourage composers to apply for any opportunities that interest them and for which they fit the specification\, and not be discouraged if they are not selected for a particular opportunity\, as it does not mean that they are not “good” enough. Please do continue to apply for any opportunity that interests you! \n
