Institute for Creative Music Collective
The IfCM Collective is a versatile group of performers/educators and serves as the showcase ensemble for the Institute for Creative Music (a 501(c)(3) non profit). They perform original songs and arrangements on the cutting edge, combining strong grooves and detailed composition with avant-garde improvisation. Since 2011, the IfCM Collective presents performances and workshops in traditional performance spaces (concert halls, clubs, festivals) as well as schools, community centers, and outdoor public spaces throughout the United States.
The Collective is available for both concert appearances and in conjunction with workshop sessions. To book the collective please contact us at chris@ifcmusic.org.
