ABOUT THE PERFORMERS
Improvisers Exchange Ensemble is an eclectic student performance group of the School of Music exploring sound and music through collective improvisation. Under the direction of Jason Finkelman, the ensemble develops a practice of omni-idiomatic improvisation, where musicians of all backgrounds and experiences create meaningful music in the moment. In addition to the ensemble, Improvisers Exchange is a multidimensional programming line of Global Arts Performance Initiatives offering concerts, workshops, lectures, artist residencies, and other engagements promoting broadly the field of music improvisation.
