Convergence is dedicated to the idea of sharing the intimacy and the spark of improvised music with our audience. We have been creating music together for the last 20 plus years and are excited to be sharing the whole journey with you now. Whether you're a student, professional, or jazz fan, there will be something of interest to you. Having played together for more than 20 years now, the Denver-based ensemble brings together tight original arrangements with space for top-notch improvisation. The group's musical empathy has proved strong even as a long-distance commitment: Since the group's founding, several members of Convergence have moved from Colorado to New York City.
