Workshops & Concerts: all about improvisation

Since Jerry Granelli’s death in July of 2021 the 1313 Music Association continues the work of sustaining Jerry’s original mission. The goal is to provide space and opportunity for a vital and sustainable musical and artistic community in Nova Scotia, to promote the importance of openness in all aspects of the creative process and to promote musical education that is rooted in the fundamental elements thereof.

The 1313 Music Association is operated by a core group of Jerry’s long-time Halifax-based collaborators and students. In recent years 1313 has presented the Creative Music Labs, the Creative Music Ensemble, the Facing the Future Concert Series, the Jazz Repertoire Class, Sound+Motion: The Creative Process and the Heart of Improvisation Concert and Workshop Series.
