Ensemble Offspring is Australia’s leading new music group, standing at the forefront of musical innovation for 30 years. Led by renowned percussionist Claire Edwardes OAM, the ensemble unites the country’s most fearless and virtuosic instrumentalists. Together, they champion living and marginalised voices including First Nations and female artists, creating “visceral, joyous music” (Sydney Morning Herald) through kaleidoscopically varied performances that blaze a trail for Australian music.
