“Words probably can’t describe adequately just how marvellous it was to enjoy an up-close soiree in the home setting, wrapped in music and art. And it gets even better with a program that is so well considered and delivered.”
“The visual, often quite physical performances add a real sense of theatre which is exhilarating to watch. I encourage you to experience Ensemble Offspring’s unique brand of living new music up close for yourself, and don’t forget to stay and chat! ”
