Ensemble Offspring: Shivers on Speed

Ensemble Offspring are Australia’s musical lightning rod, drawing the most electric and spectacular talent from around the world and setting it loose in our very own harbourside backyard. Shivers on Speed is the latest showcase of what is hot right now: brace yourself for four premieres by local and international sensations. The internet gets its groove back in our Noisy Women commission Click Farm by Nicole Murphy while Jack Symonds clutches at memories in a new sextet featuring our flautist Lamorna Nightingale. Canada’s Nicole Lizée and LA’s Karen Tanaka will beguile you with their originality, and Cologne-based Brigitta Muntendorf’s Shivers on Speed drags you headfirst on a crazy, high-speed trip through a sonic jungle. Don’t miss this global melting pot of new sounds, served up as only Ensemble Offspring can.
