Internationally renowned for unparalleled contributions to modern
music, the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, Inc.
(AACM) has been an inspirational leader within the cultural community
since 1965. Now in it's fourth decade the organization is poised to
launch its' new Nomadic Sound Experiment concert series.
The new bi-monthly concerts will be traveling showcases that will feature two performances at each event. The goals are to present concerts in a variety of settings around the Chicago land area, emphasize original music or concept, partner with like minded arts organizations, and reach out to new audiences (from Highland Park to
Tinley Park). Each concert will STRIVE to feature a set by veteran members as well as a set by "newer" artists. All proceeds will benefit the re-opening of the AACM school for music education.
