Programs: Through our Creative Music Communities initiative, we offer weekly, year-round, tuition-free music workshops for young people living in homeless shelters and refugee communities in partnership with over a dozen health and human service agencies. We also conduct open improvisation workshops for local musicians and invite our guest artists to facilitate workshops for local high schoolers. In addition, we present two free concert series: the Creative Music Concert Series and They, Who Sound. Our mainstage Creative Music Concert Series features influential figures from the international world of creative, experimental music, avant-garde jazz, sound art, and contemporary composition. They, Who Sound focuses on innovative local and regional artists.
