For Nordic Music Days 2024 Red Note brings a programme that celebrates the ensemble’s links with the Nordic countries alongside one of its most significant recent Scottish commissions – the award-winning Tanz/haus by James Dillon.
Tine Surel Lange’s Flaskepost was premiered at soundfestival 2023 in Aberdeen as part of Northern Connection, a new and innovative project to connect Nordic countries and Scotland by establishing and strengthening liaisons between composers, ensembles and festivals in contemporary music
James Dillon’s Tanz/haus opened Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival’s 40th edition as a world premiere – and to great acclaim. Dillon’s work was awarded the RPS composition prize and nominated for the BASCA British Composer Awards 2018, and a recording by Red Note is available on Delphian Records.
