Splinter Magic: a winter festival with Splinter Orchestra and friends

Splinter Orchestra has always been an amorphous being; its shifting roster shaping the resultant music. Every Sunday sees a different subset of Splinter join together to play; this gathering is a weekly refuge for to bond, explore and create something that could be called magical.

Splinter Magic is a two day festival in July featuring subsets of Splinter and Spl-interlopers joining regular members. This event also includes the ‘splintstallation’; Splinter Orchestra’s mechanised ghost form. We celebrate the wider Splinter community in this titillating banquet of Sydney improvised music.
