The purpose of The Unwrinkled Ear is to showcase the international world of improvised music (and its relatives) in performances, exhibitions, collaborations, and publications.

We foster opportunities for musicians around the world to collaborate with local musicians and artists in Los Angeles to build community through improvisation, embracing the truth that we all have something to give—and something to learn—at any time.

The Unwrinkled Ear is where virtuosity meets vulnerability.
