An evening of modern jazz featuring the Kevin Sun Quartet (NYC) and Daoure Diongue (Baltimore).

On tour for the release of their latest album Quartets, Kevin Sun (tenor saxophone) and his quartet—featuring Christian Li (piano), Walter Stinson (bass), Matt Honor (drums)—will explore original modern jazz compositions that take inspiration from a wide array of cultural influences, from video game music and electronic pop to mid-century auteur cinema.

Improvise a Musical! The next class with Baltimore Improv Group starts Thursday May 1 at The BIG Theater. That’s just 3 weeks away. If you’ve been thinking about trying musical improv, this is your season.

​You’ll build songs and scenes from scratch, with classmates who are just as new (and nervous!) as you. It’s a 4-week class plus a final showcase where you perform a completely improvised musical: villains, heroes, group numbers and all!

Join our 2-hour in-person workshop, "Embrace Spontaneity: Intro to Improv." It's a low-pressure, fun experience designed for newcomers. Connect with others through introductions, establish boundaries, and engage in energizing warmups, games, and collaborative scenes.

Get ready to embark on a low-pressure, fun-filled adventure that will unleash your creativity, boost your confidence, and ignite your sense of playfulness.
