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.

The highlight of the program in November 2025, is an intensive week of workshops with the ensemble and lead mentor Holly Harrison, culminating in Future Classics, a high profile premiere concert at the Sydney Opera House. A new addition to the program, biennially, one Hatched Composer Intensive participant will be selected to compose a $4,000 ‘Hatched Alumni Commission’ supported by the Amici Syndicate, to be featured in a future Ensemble Offspring season.

The Hatched Composer Intensive has been the launch pad for many successful young Australian composers, watch the 2024 showreel and see our testimonials below.
