Sept 15-16, 2025 - The School of Music at Indiana State University presented a two-day Alec Wilder Festival.
Guest artist featured during the event was Robert Levy, longtime friend and recording artist who recorded a number of Wilder compositions . He was featured during three events during the festival which included a lecture on Wilder’s life, presentation of a pilot documentary film produced by Levy, and his “coaching" three student and faculty ensembles in preparation for performances. A highlight among the performances, given by faculty, was the “Jazz Suite for Brass Quintet” which Gunther Schuller published more than twenty years ago. All events were enthusiastically received and it was especially gratifying seeing the positive reception among university students.
