Open the music box…who knows what you might find. Sydney-based ‘the music box project’ is a curious collective of musicians presenting creative, community driven and collaborative musical experiences. Increasingly recognised as keen instigators of creative music making, the music box project has premiered works of local, national and international early-career composers whilst continuing to re-invent established works in a new light. Known for their open mind and collaborative drive, the music box project is a thriving part of Sydney’s local music scene having shared music outside the usual order of things monthly at The Glebe (2017-2019), curated a participatory anthology of text-scores (2018) , created an ambitious collaborative work between 40 composers (2015) and presented a multi-theremin performance and audience workshop at Extended Play Festival (2018). Other highlights include performances at the Bendigo International Festival of Exploratory Music (2019), artist residency at Bundanon Trust (2019), participating in an open workshop/performance with Grammy award-winning ensemble Eighth Blackbird (2017), opening for New York ensemble yMusic (2016) and collaborating with Sydney’s Splash Percussion (2016).
