On July 18 I’ll be part of a much larger ensemble performing a work by Louis Andriessen and Terry Riley for Ensemble Offspring:
SIZZLE! avant-garde meets folk meets electronica meets jazz meets performance art meets dance… coming to your local bowlo
Sizzle was conceived by Ensemble Offspring as an alternative musical event for Sydney in winter – a way of getting contemporary classical music off the podium and into people’s Sunday arvos. A relaxed and casual affair including food, drinks and a bowlo favourite, bingo, each afternoon is curated by an Ensemble Offspring member, reflecting their unique personal tastes and varied collaborative projects.
Curated by clarinettist Jason Noble, the first Sizzle kicks-off this Sunday at Waverley Bowlo featuring an 11-clarinet Steve Reich extravaganza, dancer Kip Gamblin, microtonal improv duo Clocks and Clouds, Matty Hoare’s analogue electro-beat producing thwopper, an MC with a few tricks up his sleeve and of course, Ensemble Offspring.
Percussionist and drummer Bree van Reyk curates our July Sizzle at Petersham with a presentation of John Cage’s Lecture on Commitment, featuring a collection of Sydney musicians and visual/performance artists… Agatha Gothe-Snape, Jess Green, Timothy Constable, Brian Fuata, Bob Scott, Ensemble Offspring and more. Includes massed minimal music by Louis Andriessen, Philip Glass and Mr Cage himself.
Not your run-of-the-mill classical violinist, Veronique Serret curates our August Sizzle at Camperdown Bowling Club featuring The Noise Ensemble, Actual Russian Brides (Elle Knox’s arty new band), some fluxus inspired perplexity, a visual artist and DJ as well as yours truly, Ensemble Offspring.
Join us as we shed our concert blacks and share the stage with our friends to bring you 3 cross-genre events with a difference.
