Baltimore’s legendary High Zero Festival—the premier festival of improvised, experimental music on the East Coast—debuts in New York as part of its 20th Anniversary Tour.

About

Usually bringing musicians from all over the world to Baltimore, this year’s 20th-anniversary concert series flips the format by bringing High Zero Collective members to Roulette in NYC for two nights of improvised sets with NY musicians. Following the festival’s intriguing model: Each evening’s four curated sets aim to combine musicians who have never played together before. These musicians will improvise together for typically 20-30 minutes.

Since 1999, the annual High Zero Festival of Experimental Improvised Music has brought together more than 200 musicians and performers from around the world, mixing and matching them in all new combinations with local Baltimore improvisers in never-before-seen collaborations. Organized by a fluid group of Baltimore artists, the High Zero Collective also organizes the Red Room concert series (ongoing since 1996), the Worlds in Collusion festival as part of Baltimore’s Artscape, and the Diffusion festival celebrating multichannel electroacoustic music
