A blossoming of voices from the next generation – discover the Future Classics of new Australian art music in this one-off Sydney Opera House showcase.
The Ensemble Offspring Hatched Academy has been an incubator for the Australian music scene for more than a decade, with ‘fledgling’ composers taking flight all over Australia and beyond, bringing fresh ideas and creative excellence to the vanguard of contemporary music.
In this annual showcase at the Sydney Opera House, our Hatched Composer and Emerging Performer programs for 2026 come to fruition, and it’s your chance to discover the Future Classics of Australian art music.
Be the first to hear brand new works from four of our nation’s most innovative young composers, composed especially for Ensemble Offspring under the guidance of 2026 mentor Jack Symonds. Joining our Ensemble Offspring virtuosos on stage: Arkie Moore, this season’s Hatched Emerging Performer, and Emerging Performer alumnus Ronan Apcar.
