Music in the Regions is proud to tour Songbirds on the Mid-North Coast with Ensemble Offspring, Australia’s leading contemporary music group.

Since its premiere in 2019, Songbirds has become an Ensemble Offspring crowd-favourite. Nature comes alive, as a trio of flute, clarinet and percussion evokes the weird and wonderful sounds of the Australian bush. The musical guest list includes flamingos, a hummingbird, a frenzied flock of rainbow lorikeets, even a nightingale.

Audiences will hear works written especially for Ensemble Offspring by composers who’ve woken up with ‘Nature’s first musicians’, hung out with them on their balconies and documented their songs. Brenda Gifford and Nardi Simpson also bring Indigenous perspective to their compositions, turning eyes and ears to the sky. The results are musical conversations – scintillating and playful – literally riffing with the birds.
