What We Do

Improvelocity is a group of musical artists and guest performers who improvise music, stories, poetry and soundscapes with voices, instruments and audience inspiration. We perform in a variety of venues, offer workshops, and are available for festivals, conferences, fund raisers, reunions, and other special public and private events. Each performance is created, shared and savored in the moment and cannot be repeated, so the musical experience is forever new!

Our Mission and Vision

Our mission is to create improvised music that uplifts our audiences and inspires them to express their own ideas and talents more freely. Through the spontaneous musical ideas offered by our artists and audiences, we seek to create the energy and experience of how one creative impulse has the power to invite and extend inspiration to everyone.

We believe in 1) sharing with others the adventure of creating improvised music, 2) listening deeply to each other, 3) saying "yes" to the creative impulses that are offered, 4) joining our talents, hearts, minds and spirits in creative synergy, and 5) being open to following the divine inspiration and guidance that connects and flows through us as we make music together and with our audiences.

Our vision is to help create a world where people feel inspired and encouraged to express themselves fully and create their life in harmony with their highest aspirations.

How Improvelocity Began
"Let’s read a poem or prose,

feel the impulse of its imagery,

then sing it."

This was the idea of Andrea Loretz-Frey. Andrea Loretz-Frey and Maria Pinheiro discovered the wonder, magic and fun of creating music-in-the moment using poems and prose. What emerged was a landscape of sound, harmonies, dissonance, rhythms, and oneness that teased and pleased their ears, boggled their minds, and opened their hearts with the joy of spontaneous creation!

From these beginnings in 2003, Improvelocity was born and has grown into an ensemble of professional musicians who sing and play this surprisingly rich and magical combination of words, rhythms, and musical genres. Each performance is created and savored in the moment, and cannot be repeated in quite the same way!
