High Zero Festival of experimental improvised music

September 21st through 24th
8:30pm each night | $20 tickets
at the Baltimore Theatre Project

We are back, for another September weekend jam packed with the most outlandish music! The festival unites musicians from around the world, creating never-before-heard and completely unplanned sets of music. The performers’ risk-taking pays off with experiences that one could never find anywhere else.

We’ve got set lists and a ticket shop at highzero.org. This whole endeavor runs on volunteer labor. You can help us out by subscribing to our Patreon.

Note: Artscape was moved to the same weekend, so plan your travel and/or parking accordingly.
