A creative orchestra is a large ensemble of free improvisers, that is an application of the classical orchestra to avant-gardist group improvisation. To successfully improvise as a large group implies many difficulties -- mainly, it multiplies the risks inherent to listening and concentration by the number of participants, may it be 10, 50 or 100. Creative orchestras first developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s as pools of free improvisers to try new ideas.
