Omega Ensemble has announced its 2027 season, Risk & Radiance, featuring an ambitious program of five performances, six world premieres, three tours and two international guest artists.

Led by Artistic Director David Rowden, the season celebrates musical curiosity, innovation and collaboration, bringing together exceptional Australian and international musicians.

Highlights include Future Pulse, a new contemporary music series curated by internationally renowned composer Nico Muhly, featuring a collaboration with Carriageworks. The program also welcomes acclaimed Australian trumpeter James Morrison for Rhapsody in Blue, alongside oud virtuoso Joseph Tawadros for a special exploration of Middle Eastern musical traditions and contemporary chamber music.

The season also sees the return of CoLAB, Omega Ensemble’s emerging composers program, supporting four new composers to develop original works with guidance from leading Australian and international mentors.

With an exciting mix of new commissions, established works and creative partnerships, Omega Ensemble’s 2027 season promises to push the boundaries of chamber music and create new opportunities for audiences to experience the art form.
