Saturday, December 16th at 8pm, a diverse array of twenty artists come together in An Improvisational Symphony to close ISSUE's 20th Anniversary Season, coordinated by vocalist and longtime ISSUE friend, Suzanne Langille. The celebratory concert will take place at First Unitarian Congregational Society in Downtown Brooklyn. In collaboration with the ISSUE team, Langille has invited a wide range of musicians - many with deep ties to ISSUE’s history - involving numerous master and emerging practitioners. The program is split into four movements, each representing a traditional element that will inspire groups of five musicians to present 20-minutes of improvised sounds. These include:

First movement (Earth): Allegro featuring: Daniel Carter (saxophone & trumpet), Loren Connors (guitar), William Hooker (vocal), Chris McIntyre (trombone) & Lucie Vítková (percussion)

Second movement (Water): Andante or adagio featuring: Che Buford (violin), Madison Greenstone (contrabass clarinet), James Ilgenfritz (bass), Suzanne Langille (voice & maraca) & Joanna Mattrey (viola)

Third movement (Air): Moderato featuring: Ras Moshe Burnett (flute), Nicolee Kuester (french horn), Billy Martin (percussion), Ava Mendoza (guitar) & Aliya Ultan (cello)

Fourth movement (Fire): Finale–allegro featuring: Zoh Amba (saxophone), Nava Dunkelman (percussion), gabby fluke-mogul (violin), Alan Licht (guitar) & Lee Odom (clarinet)
