WHO WE ARESplinter Percussion is a percussion collective founded by local musicians Mitchell Beck, Storm Benjamin, Stephen Karukas, and Rebekah Ko. The organization is rooted in collaboration, accessibility, and community building. We are born out of Ballard and serve the greater Seattle area. OUR MISSIONOne of the greatest challenges with programming chamber percussion music is the vast footprint required to set up the instruments. Another challenge is acquiring and storing said instrumentation. The added challenge of existing in a city with continually rising costs on space is restrictive for those who want to program specific pieces, those who just want to play, and those who are simply curious. Splinter Percussion seeks to remove those barriers and become a percussion instrument, facility, and personnel resource for the Northwest. Our objective is that with time, we can bring percussion chamber music out of the university halls and into the community. Interested in working together?
