Three musicians will perform before an audience
in the CSI Fine Arts Recital Hall on Feb. 9 but they don’t know what they’ll play. They won’t have notes, music, or guidelines. They’ll just improvise together.
A unique concert of freely improvised music is the objective of guitarist Kris Hartung, saxophonist Brent Jensen, and percussionist Jared Hallock. Jensen,
CSI Music professor, says the group will offer a brief explanation to the audience about the process of improvisation and the audience will be able to ask questions. The show itself will be spontaneous, each musician listening to, reacting to, and anticipating the others’ performance. One thing is certain, it’ll never happen quite that way twice. Hartung is the founder
and artistic director of the Boise Creative and Improvised Music Festival. Hallock graduated from
the University of Idaho in percussion performance
and has since played with countless artists in Boise and elsewhere. Audio and videos of the trio can be found at www.boisemusicians.com/jensen-hartung
The performance will be at 7:30 Thursday, Feb. 9. Admission is free. A $5 suggested donation to
the CSI Music Scholarship fund is appreciated.
