Red Note Ensemble – Music of James Dillon

Winner of the Royal Philharmonic Society composition award, Tanz/Haus is a tour de force from Scottish composer James Dillon. Its ravishing, extravagant sound world finds a gentler, quieter companion in Tansy Davies’s Soul Canoe. Red Note’s intrepid and brilliant musicians are, as ever, the ideal guides to this fascinating music.

Download concert programme

James Dillon’s Tanz/Haus is a brilliant piece of music; its construction solid, its expression human, with a breathtaking and shimmering orchestration.

Brunton Theatre

The Brunton Hall, as it was originally known, was designed by Rowand Anderson, Kininmonth and Paul and opened by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, in 1971.

It is named after John D Brunton, who left a bequest of £700,000 to the people of Musselburgh on his death in 1951, specifying that it must be used to build a public hall for the community.

As well as the concert hall, the building also contains a 296-seat theatre.

The large stained glass windows, depicting themes from the sea, were designed by Glasgow-based artist Deborah Campbell and commissioned by the Brunton Theatre Trust.
