To celebrate the release of our recent ABC Classic release, Songbirds, Ensemble Offspring return to the Old 505 with a program of favourites from the twittersphere alongside pied butcher bird melodies and chirpy hymns.
With a little help from six revered local and international composers plus special guest pianist Sonya Lifschitz - Claire Edwardes (percussion), Jason Noble (clarinet/bass clarinet) and Lamorna Nightingale (flutes) present a program of works as breathtaking as a lyrebird's tail.
Join our instrumentalists for their triumphant homecoming and be immersed in live sounds once more!
