Vancouver and Amsterdam share a rich, intercontinental connection of getting weird—musically speaking. From the curatorial mind of bassist/host Colin Cowan, FREEDOM MUZIK is an improvisation series wherein musicians’ names are drawn from a chalice to create short small group improvs. In the second half, the full ensemble joins forces to create an improvised suite. Participants for this special festival edition include Dutch players Kaja Draksler piano, Onno Govaert drums, and Jasper Stadhouders guitar/bass, and local lights Ron Samworth guitar, Peggy Lee cello, Mili Hong drums, Joshua Zubot violin, Meredith Bates violin, and Elisa Thorn harp.
