Boston, MA — Audiences will have an opportunity to glimpse the future of music with the continuation of a successful series that was launched in October. Monthly performances of improvisational and experimental music will continue to be offered by the Immersion Music Salon at Cambridge’s Zeitgeist Gallery on the third Saturday of every month.
Sponsored by Immersion Music, Inc. (www.immersionmusic.org), this “salon” of experienced artists from a variety of disciplines will gather to perform and share new ideas and compositions.

The format is informal, with a combination of prepared and improvised performances, as well as discussions and audience interaction. It is expected that the Salon will provide a stimulating, enlightened experience for the audience and an open, supportive environment
for the artists where they can experiment with new materials and co-invent a new style of live electronic music. Immersion Music Salon events will be fun evenings for people of all ages and musical backgrounds. Salon concerts are free and open to the public with a requested donation. Tickets and information can be obtained by calling Immersion Music at (617) 686-4898.
