Event information

Oxford Improvisers is a collective of musicians dedicated to playing and promoting improvised music, mainly from the Oxford area, which have been performing for over 20 years.

Many of its members play in nationally and internationally based ensembles, and are well represented on commercially available recordings and online platforms. They come from various musical backgrounds, although the characteristics of, for instance, jazz, classical or folk music may not be obvious in the music they play.

The programme will include groupings of musicians playing free improvisation pieces, sometimes called non-idiomatic improvisation, something that develops in the moment of its playing, without preconceived musical elements... "although we sometimes use time-structures and other constraints as a working framework."
