We are excited to announce that Improv Spaces is artist-in-residence with Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, working on a collaborative incubator project with artists from the Capital region that will be workshopped with the public and then premiered at the Improv Spaces Music Festival.
Improv Spaces co-directors, harpist Alex Chang and percussionist Adam Forman, are a part of the Rock City Falls Trio (Alex Chang, harp; Jason Handron, double bass; and Adam Forman, drums) and are thrilled to be working with Troy-based multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Manuel J. Perez III to create a collaborative work-in-progress they hope to develop with participants from the Troy community.
This Sunday, December 15th 2-4pm, the public is invited to bring their personal photos, sounds, objects and memories about the city to share at a community potluck at Mt. Ida Preservation Hall in Troy. The artists hope to incorporate our collective joys, trials, and experiences of the city into a music and visual art project.
The incubator project will be presented as a live performance of the work-in-progress at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall on Tuesday, February 25th, 2025 at 7pm for feedback that will be open to the public. The piece will then debut at the 2025 Improv Spaces Music Festival on Saturday, June 7th at the Round Lake Auditorium. We hope to see you at these performances, discussions, and workshops!
