New music champion Ensemble Offspring joins Giving Culture’s gift voucher program
Announcement posted by Giving Culture 28 Jan 2026
Giving Culture, a corporate gift voucher program supporting Australia's not-for-profit arts sector, today announced Ensemble Offspring (EO) as its newest partner. EO is Australia's leading new music group, standing at the forefront of musical innovation for over 30 years. Three EO packages are currently available through Giving Culture, giving voucher holders opportunities to experience EO's exciting music programs in Sydney.
"Giving Culture stood out to us as a chance to reach beyond our existing community of supporters and make some exciting new connections. We love the idea that this partnership could introduce new music to people who might have never thought it was for them!" - Claire Edwardes OAM, Artistic Director/CEO, Ensemble Offspring
"Having Ensemble Offspring on board as a partner adds a different dimension to our music offerings for voucher holders; one that features new Australian works, emerging artists and underrepresented talent. It also gives people access to music up-close in more intimate settings, which really changes the experience of watching and listening to live performances." - Martin Aungle, co-founder, Giving Culture
Giving Culture voucher holders can now redeem for packages and experiences nationally across art, music, theatre, and film, with EO joining the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Australian Theatre for Young People, the Australian World Orchestra, Incognito Art Show and the Sydney Film Festival in the Giving Culture program.
For every voucher redeemed, 100% of its value flows through to Giving Culture's arts partners, and the value of any expired vouchers is distributed as donations amongst participating partners. The current range of voucher packages available can be found at https://givingculture.com.au/redeem.
Avant Gardens Subscription and Summer Offers
Giving Culture is offering two EO packages with performances starting at the end of February 2026. Avant Gardens Summer is for silver voucher holders, offering two tickets for one of two social salon concerts taking place in Sydney in a lovely private home of generous EO supporters. An Avant Gardens Subscription gives gold voucher holders tickets to all three Avant Gardens concerts in Sydney in 2026 - one each in summer, autumn and spring.
