Ensemble Offspring perform Of Birds and Stars by Yuwaalaraay composer Nardi Simpson. Of Stars and Birds was written after an invitation to contribute to Ensemble Offspring s birdsong collection. As a new composer in the earliest development stages of my craft, I worried how my work would stand alongside the pieces of experienced, accomplished composers who had already contributed to this series. As an Aboriginal musician with limited music theory, I also worried if I could create something of a standard suitable for the ensemble and its project partners.
