Encompassing a variety of exploratory practices and techniques, experimental music in Boston thrives at the cultural periphery. Drawing on my own experiences as a concert curator, I will provide a kind of guide and general overview of the experimental sound and music scene, while also highlighting the various strains of exploration around the city.

Susanna Bolle is the artistic and executive director of Non-Event, a non-profit concert series devoted to the presentation of experimental music in and around the city of Bostfile:///C:/Users/scorbett/Downloads/susanna.webpon. Founded in 2001, Non-Event is a nomadic series, which organizes performances in unusual and non-traditional venues. Since joining Non-Event in 2003, Susanna has overseen the expansion of the series, which now produces almost 40 concerts a year by innovative artists from around the world in venues such as Boston City Hall, the Waterworks Museum, the ACT Cube at MIT, and Le Laboratoire Cambridge, as well as more intimate spaces such as Café Fixe and the library at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts. She is also the host of the long running radio program Rare Frequency on WZBC in Boston.
