ISIM ... promoting performance, education, and research in improvised music, and illuminating connections between musical improvisation and creativity across fields.

Melding diverse cultures, ethnicities, disciplines, and ideas that shape society at large, today’s musical world is increasingly characterized by creative expressions that transcend conventional style categories.

Improvisation is a core aspect of this global confluence of this eclectic musical activity. Initially used to describe jazz and its offshoots, improvised music now encompasses a broad spectrum of formats—from computer music and multi-media collaborations to string quartets, bebop bands and multiethnic fusion.
