A selection of our ongoing and past projects.
We are currently developing two new shows which we are looking forward to present to you in the next months.
FLOCK is a 30-minute ensemble piece created by Kathy Hinde for an audience of children aged 4 to 8 years old and is centred around a suite of newly invented playful instruments that use bellows, birdwhistles, pipes, reeds, origami birds, inflatables, hand-wound generators, pedals and more.
New Normal is a co-creation, produced by Soundstreams and Red Note Ensemble New Normal, between Ukrainian-Canadian composer Anna Pigdorna and Northern Irish composer Brian Irvine. The piece is a whimsical exploration of social isolation and strange world events which have occurred during the time of global pandemic.
Deconstructing Pierrot is a new interpretation of Albert Giraud’s poems that repurposes musical material from Schoenberg’s work in a subversive act of defiance of the great master.
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.
FLOCK is a 30-minute ensemble piece created by Kathy Hinde for children and families of all ages!
IN DEVELOPMENT – New Normal, a co-creation between Ukrainian-Canadian composer Anna Pigdorna and Northern Irish composer Brian Irvine, is a whimsical exploration of social isolation and strange world events which have occurred during the time of global pandemic.
Combining newly-designed air-powered instruments with live musicians to create a new part-performance, part kinetic-sculptural work, Aeolian is a deeply-integrated new work by Norwegian composer Maja S K Ratkje, UK installation artist Kathy Hinde and Danish accordionist Andreas Borregaard.
James Dillon’s composition Tanz/haus is a brilliant piece of music; its construction solid, its expression human, with a breathtaking and shimmering orchestration. The Scotsman is one of the most colourful composers in Europe. His works pair an intriguing complexity with an original and lush dreamy sound world.
Red Note Ensemble and Matthew Hawkins’s new production and choreography of Vesalii Icones – available from Autumn 2018.
Written in 1969 this is one of Peter Maxwell Davies’s classic works of concert-hall music theatre.
KEIN is a continuing exploration and extension of François Sarhan’s fascination with the absurd, counterintuitive and virtuosic in both presentation and performance practice.
