Ngarra-Burria: First Peoples Composers is our award-winning collaborative artist development program, and in 2025 we celebrate ten years of building bridges for First Nations musicians to develop composition skills while connecting with their cultural roots. Each year, Ngarra-Burria brings exciting new artistic voices into the spotlight and you can discover them for yourself in this free concert at the Eugene Goossens Hall (Sydney) and The Street (Canberra).

Hear new instrumental works from the 2025 cohort alongside music by Mark ‘Munk’ Ross, Ensemble Offspring’s 2025–26 First Nations Composer in Residence, and join the celebration of stories reflecting culture, country and connection to the here and now.

“ A team of incredible composers, mentors, and Ensemble Offspring’s musical interpreters, coming together to empower First Nations Voices.”
