Red Note Schedule

I love me some Red Note Ensemble. Since they are constantly coming up with premières, theatrical concerts, or revivals of contemporary classics, it's not surprising that I get mildly excited when their latest press release arrives in my inbox. 

I can forgive them being based in Edinburgh, even forgive them for touring work outside of the central belt. When RNE come to town, the only thing that doesn't surprise me is the quality.

Their first gig on this tour is one, sadly, not aimed at me. Who says contemporary classical can't be for all of the family?

PRESS RELEASE BEGINS.


Saturday 28 September 2.30pm: Noisy Nights Jnr @ UNESCO Family Day, City Halls, Glasgow 
Following on from the success of their informal Noisy Nights new music series, Scotland’s Red Note Contemporary Music Ensemble perform new music about Creatures and Fairy Tales written by students from King’s Park Secondary School. Come and hear the first works by tomorrow’s composers … and maybe get the chance to write some of your own.

Monday 11 November 8pm: Torsten Lauschmann - Inconsistent Whisper & Matter in the Wrong 
Glasgow-based German artist Torsten Lauschmann explores the limits and possibilities of technology in an experimental performance-installation at Woodend Barn with Red Note Ensemble and local musicians. Taking inspiration from a variety of phenomena, from talking drums and Morse code to the game of Chinese Whispers, this absorbing work looks at the problems and the beauty of misinterpretations, misinformation and misunderstanding. Torsten will also present the results of his open visual lab residency at the Barn with Charlie Hammond. This work will use projections and objects, static and animated to explore play, failure and mistakes as creative potential.
Ticket Price: £12, £10 (conc), £7
Location Woodend Barn Banchory AB31 5QA
