North East Scotland’s sound festival of new music and Technophobia Drake Music Scotland’s commission from Oliver Searle are amongst the Scottish nominees in the Royal Philharmonic Society Awards.

All 20 of the PRS for Music Foundation’s brand new commissions from the New Music Biennial will be featured at a showcase hosted by Glasgow UNESCO City of Music in August 2014.

Audio clips, presentation notes and blog posts from the Creative Scotland open sessions are now available for those interested in following up these events. Creative Scotland held eight open sessions in March and April in Dundee, Edinburgh, Greenock, Inverness, Skye, Dumfries, Glasgow and Aberdeen, to generate insight and ideas with those in the arts and creative industries in Scotland.

Colleagues and friends gathered in Glasgow recently to recognise Richard Shaw’s wide ranging contribution to Making Music’s work in Scotland during his 16 years as Training & Development Officer and, latterly, Scotland Manager. Making Music's Chief Executive, Robin Osterley, paid tribute to Richard's many achievements, not least of which was the management of Making Music's relationship with the former Scottish Arts Council and with Creative Scotland.
