A CHOCK-A-BLOCK concert hall, new premieres, and work by a 20th-century master is instantly a recipe for an interesting afternoon – however, like many recipes with the right chef and ingredients, make for a fantastic concert.
Red Note Ensemble, have been a solid champion of Scotland’s composers, managing to make space for growing talents and bigger giants in equal measure, and this concert was a good demonstration of this. The three premieres were by student composers within the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland – Kate Sagovsky, Kassia Bailey, and Kaiwen Liu.
