Red Note Ensemble are teaming up with internationally acclaimed composer, writer and visual artist François Sarhan to make a new work for string quartet with a difference – François will design and make a set of new, invented instruments for the performers to play on. How the instruments work, look and sound is entirely up to François; the performers of Red Note will need to learn to master these new instruments as they rehearse the work, planned for its first performance in Autumn 2016.
