Past 2025 Events
Hatched Composer Intensive
The Hatched Composer Intensive is a unique year-long opportunity for four emerging Australian composers. Selected composers create a new chamber work for Ensemble Offspring, supported by international composer mentors, a lead mentor, Jason Noble and Claire Edwardes through performer presentations, industry sessions and online lessons.
Hatched Mentorship Program
The Hatched Mentorship Program is a chance for emerging musicians of all practices to learn from Ensemble Offspring’s core musicians. As shorter and more casual mentorship compared to our other positions, the Mentorship Program provides several one-on-one sessions (in person or online) with the participant’s chosen mentor over several months to develop concepts and relationships.
Hatched Emerging Performer
The Hatched Composer Intensive is a unique year-long opportunity for four emerging Australian composers. Selected composers create a new chamber work for Ensemble Offspring, supported by international composer mentors, a lead mentor, Jason Noble and Claire Edwardes through performer presentations, industry sessions and online lessons.
Throughout the year the selected artist is also assisted to commission, develop, premiere and professionally document a new work by an Australian composer chosen in collaboration with Ensemble Offspring. The soloist is guided throughout the process, drawing from EO's extensive experience and connections as the most prolific commissioners of new music in Australia. From 2026, there will be a rotating selection of instruments to be considered for the position.
This program is valued at $10,000.
EOIs for our 2026 season are now closed.
