Ensemble Offspring
European Tour
September 16 @ 12:00pm – September 24 @ 12:00pm
After a long hiatus, Ensemble Offspring returns to Europe in 2023 to share the best new Australian music. We’re presenting the first international performances of our specially commissioned Songbirds repertoire and the music of the internationally acclaimed Ngarra-Burria: First Peoples Composers program (Classical:NEXT Innovation Award recipient 2022). We’re taking Aussie art music international, spreading the love for these sonic gems with performances in Helsinki and Berlin.
We’re also connecting our country to the world through new musical collaborations. With experimental art music as our common language we are teaming up with Korvat auki (‘Ears Open’) in Helsinki, and in Berlin we join Marc Sinan’s Pantopia Festival. Together, our global network of art music fiends will create unique musical experiences informed by our varied cultural backgrounds.
