Festival Format:
The festival spans three days with nightly performances and daytime improvisation workshops and open sessions. Each night features an opening presenter/performer, two improvised group sets from our lineup of improvisors, and a closing artist or group from Chicago’s creative music scenes including the DIY, punk, noise, folk, metal, and electronic communities.
Festival Improvisors:
All improvisers are invited as individuals and will perform on two out of the three nights of the festival. Each evening performance will include two improvised sets, curated by the organizer. These sets are designed to create unique groups, allowing improvisers to encounter and exchange with each other in different settings. There will also be an option to be involved with the festival’s improvisation workshops and open sessions.
Workshops/Improvisation Sessions:
A core part of the Pleiades series is the free improvisation jams for femme/trans/nonbinary performers which take place after many of the curated monthly performances. These sessions serve as an access point for those wishing to be more involved with the free improvisation community. This will be reflected in the PleiadesFest programming through daytime workshops and open improv sessions during the three days of the festival. Sessions will provide a platform for the community to engage and take part in the festival.
PleiadesFest 2024 is made possible by the generous support of New Music USA.
