The Creative Music Guild is a Portland, Oregon all-volunteer, non-profit organization whose mission is to promote experimental, improvised music by presenting concerts, workshops and other events that bring together internationally recognized musicians with local performers, audiences and music students of all ages. For over twenty years, the CMG has been a leader in cultivating Portland's experimental and improvised music.

Confluence, our visiting artist series, is where the CMG started back in 1991 with bringing the best improvisers in the world to Portland.

We present 6-8 concerts a year by artists from all over the world at venues around Portland. Our programming committee carefully curates this series taking into account diversity (both musical diversity as well as gender & ethnic diversity), quality and recognition (extremely high quality of craft is a given and some degree of critical and/or community recognition within the creative improvisation scene is crucial) and the ability of the musicians to come to Portland without our help (we generally don't get involved in concerts that would happen without us).

The Creative Music Guild and The Improvisation Summit of Portland 2015 are sponsored by: The Regional Arts and Culture Council, Disjecta, KBOO, KMHD.
and supported by: Revival Drum Shop, Beech St Parlor, North, Mississippi Records, Control Voltage, Type Foundry, The Map Room, Penofin, Beacon Sound, Stereophonic Mastering, Por Que No, PoShines.
