RED NOTE ENSEMBLE

AUTUMN CONCERT TOUR

Red Note Ensemble are Scotland’s new contemporary music ensemble, familiar to Traverse audiences from the Monday night Noisy Nights series. Here they perform their first fulllength concert progreamme of 20th Century classics by Hungarian heaveyweight Gyorgy Ligeti and new works by Scottish composers Conor McPherson and John Harris.

Gordon McPherson’s ‘paranoid concerto’ The Waterworks, written for actor and ensemble, is getting a full makeover in collaboration with Glasgow writer Paul Henry. John Harris’s short tribute to playwright Tom McGrath His Question Answered receives its first performance. Ligeti’s brilliant, un-danceable Hungarian Rock and masterwork classic Chamber Concerto complete the proceedings..
