About this Event

Featuring: Iva Bittová (voice, violin), Steve Gorn (bansuri flute, clarinet), Timothy Hill (voice, guitar), Michael Bisio (acoustic bass)

Chimera is born from trust and curiosity—a gathering where nothing is planned and everything unfolds in the moment. No scores, no strategy, no boundaries. The music writes itself as it’s played, shaped by conversation and deep listening.

Each artist brings a lifetime of exploration:

Iva Bittová, the Czech avant-garde icon, channels folk, jazz, and opera into a singular voice rooted in emotion and spontaneity.
Steve Gorn, a master of the bansuri flute, bridges Indian classical music and global improvisation with an unmistakable serenity of sound.
Timothy Hill transforms voice and guitar into instruments of resonance, weaving overtone singing and poetic stillness into his performances.
Michael Bisio, one of the most imaginative bassists in contemporary jazz, grounds the ensemble with raw physicality and lyrical depth.

Individually, they’ve shared stages with luminaries from Paul Simon to Pauline Oliveros, from Fred Frith to Bang on a Can All-Stars. Together, as Chimera, they leave all that behind—meeting in real time to create music that transcends genre and invites listeners into a space of discovery, beauty, and joy.
