On the first day of Sagittarius, Ensemble Offspring introduces its famous brand of uniquely innovative new music with this divine ‘zodiac’ miniature by Karlheinz Stockhausen.

Also featuring exciting new commissions by expat composers Jane Stanley and Kate Moore alongside Magnus Lindberg's classic for two hulking bass drums and squealing bass clarinet, Ablauf.

The striking finale piece, Workers Union by Dutch composer Louis Andriessen sees Sydney Grammar students and Ensemble Offspring members joining forces and unite as one big bundle of musical vivacity.

Performers: Lamorna Nightingale (flute), Jason Noble (clarinet), Claire Edwardes & Bree van Reyk (percussion), Zubin Kanga (piano solo)
