- **Event Name**: Abrahams/Gill & Fate Maps — Improvised Encounters at 21 Shepherd
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 09 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: Improvised Encounters brings together two distinct approaches to real-time music-making, united by deep listening, trust, and shared risk.

Acclaimed pianist Chris Abrahams and 2025 Freedman Fellow &amp; saxophonist Sam Gill return to the intimacy of the acoustic duo, shaping an improvised set of shimmering resonance, interlocking cycles and immersive lyricism. The evening expands with Fate Maps, an improvising string ensemble convened by double bassist Clayton Thomas, where cello, viola and bass map sound collectively in the moment. Together, these works invite audiences into music that unfolds through encounter — responsive, porous, and alive.
