Ahead of the afternoon concert, Rhythm Future Quartet will lead an interactive pre-show talk exploring improvisation and the Gypsy jazz tradition. The quartet will walk the audience through core improvisational concepts — including some call-and-response and body percussion — giving attendees a hands-on feel for the music without requiring any musical background or instrument of their own. The band will also contextualize the history behind Gypsy jazz and Django Reinhardt's legacy, tailoring the conversation to give the audience richer context for the performance to follow. The quartet has extensive experience leading workshops and pre-show talks of this kind, and will lead the session themselves. A Q&A will close out the talk, giving attendees the chance to ask the musicians directly about their creative process.

The afternoon concert will follow as a standalone performance, giving the quartet's virtuosic, high-energy set the full stage it deserves.
