Generations converge as Ensemble Offspring pits Artistic Director and leading percussionist Claire Edwardes against up-and-coming instrumental talent Georgina Oakes in their production\u00a0Beginnings to New Ends\u00a0<\/em>which includes two Australian premieres and a world premiere.<\/p>\n

Claire performs a set of colourful percussion solos, written in collaboration with emerging female composers. Alongside her will be Ensemble Offspring\u2019s first-ever Associate Artist, clarinettist Georgina Oakes, who returns from 10 years in Europe to wow us with her new music pedigree after working with the likes of Pierre Boulez and Tristan Murail. Beginnings to New Ends\u00a0<\/em>promises to be an exhilarating tilt at future sounds featuring gongs, drums, winds and even recited text.<\/p>\n
