The so-called “instant orchestra” gathering invites musicians from varied backgrounds to join an original, evolving ensemble that forms, shifts, and dissolves within a single evening. Participants at all levels explore fundamental musical skills through a collaborative process that highlights improvisation, attentive listening, clear communication, teamwork, and playful experimentation. This communal creation demonstrates how spontaneous musical ideas can coalesce when people respond to one another in real time and stay receptive to unforeseen directions.
The program is free for musicians who register in advance, with activities unfolding from 17.00 to 20.30. A public performance then follows, offering a window into what the group has learned and how improvisation translates into a shared onstage experience. While the concert itself welcomes curious listeners, registration for attending the performance is not required, making the evening accessible to the broader community.
In describing the first instant orchestra, organizers emphasize the joy of making music together, regardless of a participant’s skill level, background, or discipline. Through the Museum Consortium, new avenues for artistic expression are explored, inviting everyone present to contribute to the evolving soundscape.
The organizers note that music offers expansive creative possibilities that emerge most clearly when collaboration takes center stage. The evening at Las Cigarreras will illustrate how improvisation and collective problem solving can translate into tangible musical outcomes, inviting all to witness the process in real time and to feel the energy of shared creation.
