Discussion with Jessica Argo, Tia DeNora, Douglas Ewart, George Lewis and Maria Sappho

‘Improvisation as a way of imagining futures in music, participation & inclusion’
Our discussion event will focus on imagining futures in music, participation, inclusion and the spaces in which these happen. We bring together five bold musical adventurers, whose collective expertise spans building machines and AI informed instruments that can improvise, to creating sonic spinning tops from bamboo. Each panelist is active in thinking about and making ways to create and collaborate using improvisation, in spaces from gym halls on the South Side of Chicago, to the Zoomesphere, and in classrooms, and concert halls. Panelists are Jessica Argo, Tia DeNora, Douglas R. Ewart, George E. Lewis and Maria Sappho.
