A note from Strata curator Laurence Pike

“The third edition of the Strata festival at Phoenix Central Park represents an annual cross-section of the finest improvisers and creative music makers in Australia. Six sets showcasing the diversity and depth of music that stands outside of commercial considerations, in pursuit of community, truth and experience through sound and the language of improvisation.

This year features two premieres of new music; by Berlin-based Melbourne composer Claire Cross, and from 2023 Freedman Fellow Phillippa Murphy-Haste, a one-off collaboration by Sydney collective BELIEVE and vocal improviser Sonya Holowell, the beguiling new trio HEAPS GRASS, Brisbane pianist Erik Griswold's trio Anatomical Heart, and Sydney underground heroes Showa 44.

As the curator, and as a performer and member of this community, I am very proud to once again have the opportunity to present this vital music in the beautiful Phoenix Central Park, and hope you can join us for Strata III.”

Ticketing FAQs

  • All performances at Phoenix Central Park are free.

  • Phoenix Central Park is an intimate performance space and tickets are limited. Due to high demand, tickets will be issued at random to those who have entered each ticket ballot. Each performance has a separate ballot, so if you would like to attend multiple performances, you will need to enter each ballot separately.

    We advise you to listen to the artist you are entering the ballot for, and consider which shows you’d really like to attend. Entering more ballots does not increase your chances of attending.

    Please only enter our ballots with your own details - if we catch you using false details, you won’t have any luck. We reserve the right to cancel any tickets we believe are obtained through false information at any time.

  • If you are successful you will receive an email up to ten days prior to the performance with instructions on how to claim your tickets.

    This offer is only valid for a limited time. Unclaimed tickets may be forfeited. You will have the option of confirming up to two tickets for a performance.

  • No, your tickets will be valid for a specific performance only. If you are unable to attend, please pass the ticket onto a friend or contact us at tickets@phoenixcentralpark.com.au to allow someone else the opportunity to attend.

    You can enter ticket ballots for your chance to attend another performance.
