CREATING A NEW AUSTRALIAN SOUND
Support Us
Join us on a unique musical journey creating the Australian sound of tomorrow.
Ensemble Offspring
Ensemble Offspring has been at the forefront of commissioning new music in Australia for over 26 years. Our donors are at the coalface of new music creation along with Claire and the musicians. Be part of the journey as Ensemble Offspring takes a new work from its inception to its premiere with care, precision, collaboration and excellence.
We invite you to discover and be inspired by our past commissions list which features videos and recordings of our over 70 Ensemble Offspring Creations since 2012.
Your donation also contributes to our important Development Programs which nurture and grow the next generation of Australian culture.
If your interests are more on the concert platform, why not support a new work premiere or a Performer Chair?
We invite you to make your tax-deductible donation to the future of living Australian music today – or if you would like to support us in other ways, we would love to chat. Please get in touch with Claire: claire@ensembleoffspring.com
Thank you for your support!
