Ensemble Offspring’s all-star percussionists Bree van Reyk and Claire Edwardes are joined by multi-talented clarinettist cum table hitter Jason Noble, in this imaginative concert exploring the infinite realms of 21st Century music making. Mesmerising dancing hands, blindfolds, childhood stories with a backbeat and 6 bulging boomboxes – it’s sheer delight for the young and the young at heart.
