34th Seattle Improvised Music Festival

UPDATE: Tonight’s SIMF show at the Chapel will go on, but starting at 7 PM instead of 8, so folks can get home before things ice over. Come on out, brave souls!

This is truly “music of the moment,” allowing artists from diverse musical backgrounds to meet in an atmosphere of spontaneity, intuition, playfulness, and discovery.
