Improvisers Exchange Expands Definitions of Music

This performance ensemble broadly examines the field of music improvisation and is open to musicians of all genres who seek to explore omni-idiomatic improvisation, listening and performance strategies for the improviser, and engagement with visiting artists in the field.

Improvisers Exchange September 15, 2025 @ Rose Bowl Tavern

Once every month at the Rose Bowl Tavern in downtown Urbana, if you go on a Monday afternoon, you’ll see an interesting combination of musicians on stage, playing some instruments you may not be familiar with: a healthy mix of percussion, strings, and electronics from far-flung corners of the world, all being led in spontaneous composition by Jason Finkelman, Artistic Director of Global Arts Performance Initiatives here at Krannert Center. This is a performance of the Improvisers Exchange (IE), an educational and programming line of Krannert Center and the School of Music at the University of Illinois.

“IE programming presents guest artists in concerts, workshops, residencies, lectures and discussions,” Finkelman said.” The Improvisers Exchange Ensemble is a credited performance ensemble of the School of Music that performs monthly in the community at the Rose Bowl Tavern, and on campus every academic year in various locations.”
