Improvisation Summit of Portland 2023 will be held on October 18th – October 29th at 10 different venues!

The Creative Music Guild champions the work of accomplished improvisational and experimental artists, while supporting our community of musicians and music-lovers. We bring together performers from around the world and pair them with local emerging talent. This confluence spawns an incubation process that fuses ideas, intuition, and composition; the vocabulary of improvisation. 

We are happy to announce that for our annual festival “The Improvisation Summit of Portland 2023,”  we are expanding our format to : 12 nights at 9 different venues!  We will be showcasing the unique programming of the CMG’s dedication to high-quality curation that represents our community far and wide.
