Red Note Ensemble Ltd (TDN 2024)
Red Note’s Talent Developing Talent programme is a bit like a “development pipeline” for new music creators in and from Scotland, starting at school level or even earlier, and leading to professional credibility and national and international visibility. Developing Talent is closely linked to Commissioning and Performance and Working with Communities, and aims to remove barriers to the profession faced by those with specific protected characteristics, by attracting, mentoring and supporting emerging new music-makers from diverse backgrounds. We provide first contact with new music creation (often at school, or in a community setting), through secondary and tertiary education, to emerging-professional opportunities, and to commissioning, national and international touring, and recording. Undertaken in partnership with schools, colleges, conservatoires and other organisations, music creators who have been part this programme since they were at school now have international careers.
