Robert explains what to expect at this years festival of new music PLUG at Royal Conservatoires of Scotland in Glasgow. We open the festival on 5 May with ‘Simply Red Note’ working alongside student composers, guest artists and soloists. The festival culminates on 8 May with a combining of forces, as we are joined by the students from MusicLab to close the festival with a bang. The programme features a large-scale composition from doctoral student Colin Broom, as well as last year’s winner of the prestigious Craig Armstrong Prize, Jay Capperauld.
