Celebrating spring, fertility, the moon and renewal Ensemble Offspring presents this tasting plate of living new music featuring works from home and across the globe as part of Great Southern Nights. We remember the creative genius that was Cor Fuhler (NL/AUS), we premiere new works from Gerry Brophy (Aus) and Christopher Fox (UK) and we revisit duos by living legends Liza Lim and Kaija Saariaho. Be a part of the live music making experience after the longest hiatus in living history, as part of Great Southern Nights at the Cell Block Theatre this November.

4.5 stars “Live performance of new music returned with a big bang when Ensemble Offspring percussionist Claire Edwardes received a standing ovation…” Steve Moffat, Limelight Magazine

“A welcome return to normalised music-making in the face of the overwhelming setbacks that have characterised 2020….there was a pervasive sense of community that must’ve felt somewhat cathartic for many.” Adam Jeffrey, Classikon

“Trace by Christopher Fox proved a great vehicle for the ensemble to meet on equal terms, with twisting, serpentine lines, now accompanied by the crickets, confidently negotiated by all four members.” Adam Jeffrey, Classikon
