Cycles and Circles
Described by Artistic Director, Claire Edwardes, as “an organic listening experience”, Cycles and Circles is a unique collection of works inspired by nature and organic patterns found in our world. Placing Australian works in an international context, Ensemble Offspring offers up an aural feast – one that is at once both visceral and poetic. Featuring world premiere recordings of works by Ligeti, Moore, Humberstone, Ricketson, Harrison and Stanley.
