Improvisation

Improvisation Talk Back: Six strings Start Talking

Five guitar improvisors each on their own paths meet for the first time in performance, followed by the audience’s discussion of what is involved with such improvisation, moderated by Upstream’s Music Association’s Artistic Director, Lukas Pearse on double bass.  Guests this year include Sam Wilson, Kim Barlow, Yousef Mousavi, Dilshan Weerasinghe and Ross Burns.

This is a chance to peer inside the varied approaches improvisors bring to their art form, and an opportunity to behold the real-time creative negotiations this collective attains.

All questions welcome!
