HIGH ZERO 2024

CELEBRATING TWENTY-SIX YEARS!
September 19 – 22

High Zero Festival is one of the world’s most unusual music festivals. It puts musicians from around the world on a stage together with no planning and asks what will happen? These musicians come from many backgrounds of improvisation and experimentation.

The iconic multi-platinum-selling group AMERICA will celebrate their 54th anniversary with a series of tour dates in 2024. Billed as “Ride On Tour 2024,” it launches July 18 in Minneapolis and will continue throughout the year, with many more shows to be added coast to coast. Known for their timeless magic and powerful performances, the Grammy Award-winning perennial classic-rock favorite will draw on their deep catalog of hits including signature song “A Horse With No Name,” a Number One hit on Billboard’s Hot 100 in 1972.

Join Highwire Improv for monthly laughs on the 3rd Saturday of every month with a rotating cast of the city's best improv ensembles, as well as frequent regional and national touring guests!

The bar is open all day, and the upstairs comedy room opens at 6:30pm for a 7pm showtime!

This month's acts include:

Human Magnet is a Washington, D.C. based ensemble that tells a made-up story that inspires a series of increasingly fun, silly, & connected scenes.

Tina Chancey (viola da gamba and pardessus de viole) and Jeffrey Cohan (renaissance and baroque transverse flutes) explore vocal music from the 16th through 18th centuries purely instrumentally, as was the common practice of instrumentalists of earlier times.
