Future Classics
- Saturday 23 November 2024 from 6:30pm to 7:45pm
Future Classics is a celebration of fresh ideas from the next generation of musical thinkers.
Keep your finger on the pulse of new Australian music with world premieres developed through the Hatched Composer Intensive and Hatched Associate Artist residencies. Join us in celebrating a decade of nurturing new creative voices through Hatched Academy and witness the birth of Australia’s future classics.
Four of the nation's most innovative young composers premiere works created specifically for Ensemble Offspring, mentored by composer and Artistic Director of Sydney Chamber Opera, Jack Symonds. In-demand composer Holly Harrison also premieres a new saxophone solo for Alice Morgan, Ensemble Offspring's 2024 Hatched Associate Artist. The young composers chosen from a national pool of talented young sound makers are Klearhos Murphy (Melbourne), Alexander Maltas (Sydney), Katia Geha (Sydney) and Courtney Cousins (Sydney/UK).
The ensemble's final Noisy Women Commission comes from rising star and Hatched alumni Kirsten Milenko, bringing Ensemble Offspring's 2024 season to a virtuosic end.
