A committed advocate of contemporary music, Geoffrey has premiered countless works and enjoyed working relationships with many leading composers, including Helmut Lachenmann, David Young, Damien Ricketson and Rosalind Page. He is a founding member of Ensemble Offspring and also performs with the groups Halcyon, Libra Ensemble, Aphids, Elision and Chronology Arts.
