Birdsong brought alive in music
After making a stunning debut in 2023 with their eccentric techno-classical ode to the 90s, The Surge, Ensemble Offspring are set to take the Central Coast to new heights when they perform their concert Songbirds at The Art House on August 2.
Evoking the weird and wonderful sounds of the Australian Bush, Songbirds brings the sounds of nature to you.
The musical guest list includes the pied butcherbird, magpies, a laughing kookaburra, a frenzied flock of rainbow lorikeets, and even a nightingale, captured through a trio of flute, clarinet and percussion.
Songbirds feature Ensemble members Lamorna Nightingale (flutes), Jason Noble (clarinets) and Claire Edwardes (percussion).
Ensemble Offspring is one of Australia’s leading music groups, standing at the forefront of musical innovation.
Led by internationally acclaimed percussionist Claire Edwardes, it unites the country’s most fearless and virtuosic instrumentalists.
Edwardes says Songbirds is a celebration of Australian birdsong and of nature’s original musicians, with every piece an original Australian chamber work commissioned by the Ensemble.
“Our composers have woken up with birds, hung out with them on their balconies, and documented their songs,” she said.
“Their scintillating and playful music captures virtuosic avian displays, Indigenous perspectives and the sounds of the bush.
“Nature comes to you as we literally riff with the birds.”
All tickets include a complimentary drink to enjoy while watching the show, served upon entry.
Songbirds by Ensemble Offspring will play The Art House, Wyong, at 7.30pm on Saturday, August 2.
