How it started

The MMI Festival has its origins in the idea of a cultural and artistic exchange between Munich and Barcelona. 

Against this background a pilot project was launched in Munich 2016. It was held with seven musicians from Barcelona and three from Munich. An impro reading was part of the program, as well.

Since then, the combination of musical improvisation and related improvised art forms is not just part of the concept, MMI literally means Music & More Impro.

In 2018 the first official edition of the MMI Festival took place in Munich and lived up to its name by following this concept, holding 9 sets on three evenings with musicians from Munich and Barcelona, as well as artists from other genres (poetry, butoh dance, …) who improvised to the sets that were played.

Now the MMI is all set to leave the Bavarian heaven and set sails to its mediterranean port.
