Warsaw Improvisers Orchestra

Warsaw Improvisers Orchestra is a band devoted to spontaneous creation of music based on the principles of free improvisation - on a large scale. The project was founded in 2012 by saxophonist Ray Dickaty. From June 2014, WIO resides at the club of Clouds in Warsaw's Praga district. In 2015, WIO recordings were released on a cassette released by the American label Astral Spirits (Joe McPhee, Survival Unit III, Rob Mazurek, Nate Wooley, Mike Majkowski, Ballister). A year later, Warsaw Improvisers Orchestra was the headliner of the Ad Libitum 2016 festival. For this one concert, its ranks were joined by the distinguished Phil Minton, who also took the role of a guest conductor. In 2017, the orchestra recorded material in the studio of Polish Radio.
