GIOFest XVII

Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra hosts the internationally acclaimed 2024 edition of their annual festival: GIOFest. This year sees GIOFest XVII bring together artists from around the world, presenting newly commissioned work created especially for GIO’s unique and diverse ensemble.

Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra - one of the world’s leading large improvising ensembles - is the hub of a truly international community of musicians, reflected in the range of works they perform, and in their year-round programme of innovative collaborations with groups and artists from across the world.

The festival will present a series of concerts, workshops, films and discussions, exploring new possibilities for large ensemble performance, improvisation and composition. We will host a live interactive virtual event with artists from around the world.

This year the focus is on our collaborations with partners from South East Asia – Indonesia, Japan and Sri Lanka, with artists and groups from these countries joining us here in Glasgow for GIOfest.
