The Splinter Orchestra
Described as “one of the few large-scale improvisational ensembles working in Australia . . .”, Splinter’s ‘evolutionary’ pace of music develops through small sounds, without leader or boundaries. Working with a quiet and respectful listening space to bring the listener the minute details of sound, The Splinter Orchestra is a unique music experience.

The Exterminating Angel
This 1962 masterpiece is a playful black comedy as well as a surreal look at the flawed ideologies in religion and philosophy.

Brush up on your film classics.
