SEASON 2026
Welcome to our 2026 Season
With our trademark fearless energy and curiosity, Ensemble Offspring bursts into a new era of bold sounds in 2026. Our season channels the elements - earth, air, fire, and water - all the while listening and connecting deeply to Country. Featuring composers Steve Reich and Kate Moore alongside fresh new voices, we celebrate music as a living, breathing force for renewal and joy.
