As part of last month’s annual High Zero Festival, a series of performances of improvised music, I attended a talk on improvisation itself. Discussions were had about how improvisation played a role in the panel’s music, whether it was composed or performed. Thinking about how improvisation plays a role in composition, there have been in classical music many moments for performers to improvise their own interpretation of the score. Something as small as a performer’s phrasing could be a form of improvisation, at the very least if the composer didn’t specify it. One could question (perhaps thinly) the amount of improvisation that can be involved in a piece before it ceases to be composed, or perhaps, ceases to be classical in style. The quickest counter to that argument is that the composer can call for improvisation, but I would say that the premise is flawed; I don’t think that the style is of that great a concern, but I think fans of classical/experimental/art music would enjoy it, and that is why there are a few improvisation-heavy shows on our list this month...

Bifurcated—from the Medieval Latin word for two-pronged—encapsulates for me the experience of being an immigrant; I tend to feel as if I have two countries, but no home.
