Silence Presents: Gilliam, Milmine, Pottie Trio
"Entangled Pathways" CD Release & Improvisors Orchestra Workshop at Silence

$10/PWYC General Admission, $5 Improvisor Orchestra Workshop performers

Improvisors Orchestra Workshop
Doors at 7:00 PM
Workshop at 7:30 PM

This Improvisor Orchestra Workshop is an invitation to Guelph and surrounding area musicians, vocalists and other players to improvise together with Bill Gilliam leading using conducted hand signals developed by Butch Morris. The hand signals are easy to learn in 10 minutes and the conductor's role is to help shape the improvisations in interesting ways. All types of performers (instrumentalists, vocal artists, laptop sound artists, keyboards, strings, wind instruments, percussionists, found & hand made instruments, melodicas, synths, smart phones and anything else that inspires you) are welcome and invited to explore this style of improvisation with us!

Intermission: 8:45pm
