For Avant Gardens we head into the backyards and backrooms of our very own musicians’ homes to make some noise. Join us for this intimate concert experience featuring unusual line ups, much loved ‘avant garde’ classics and experimental music never heard before. Be touched by a meaningful musical experience in four homes around Sydney brought to you by the ever-creative musicians of Ensemble Offspring during Australia’s COVID concert hall recovery. Each program will be repeated twice if demand is there.

PERFORMERS: Lamorna Nightingale (flute), Claire Edwardes (percussion), Ben Kopp (keyboard/celeste), James Nightingale (saxophone) &Robin Janus (sound).
