ENSEMBLE OFFSPRING Avant Gardens 2: Crie For Avant Gardens we head into the backyards and backrooms of our very own musicians to make some noise. Join us for this 2nd intimate concert in the our 2021 inaugural series and experience unusual line ups, much loved ‘avant garde’ classics and experimental music never heard before. ‘Crie’ features our beloved violinist Véronique Serret alongside fresh young talent in the form of Oliver Shermacher on clarinet – and Jason Noble will cameo on Right Hand piano while he recovers from a recent Bondi bicycle accident. So come and be touched by a meaningful musical experience in this beautiful Bondi yoga studio brought to you by the ever-creative musicians of Ensemble Offspring during Australia’s COVID concert hall recovery.
