MORE MUSIC: Creative Music at Union Arts (411 New York Avenue NE) hosts Good Willsmith, Sugarm, Insect Factory and Radiator Greys: “Entering the world of creative music merely demands an ability to listen, sustain attention, and challenge your own conceptions of music. We focus on improvisation, composition, listening, ensemble playing, history, theory, critique, creative concepts and our connections to other genres, fields and disciplines. And most importantly, we put it all to the test in musical performance.” 8 p.m. Suggested donation of $7. —Sarah Anne Hughes
