MUS 201A Improviser's Ensemble 

Tonight's concert is a response to a quarter-long immersion in different approaches to improvised music informed in part by a virtual residency and concert with the visionary renowned bassist, composer, author William Parker.  

We will present individual approaches and different strategies to activate improvised music for a medium size ensemble including notated scores with improvisational interludes, time based graphic scores, event based scores, and the conducted structured improvisation language, Soundpainting.

Enjoy!
