The ICAMus SoundSpace resonates with live performance of Scott Wheeler’s music!

We are honored to host prominent American composer Scott Wheeler, who is joined by the celebrated soprano Lorna Windsor, a longtime collaborator and friend of ICAMus. Together, they bring Scott Wheeler's works to life in the very space that houses a one-of-a-kind collection of his music.

Join us for an intimate morning of live performance, discussion, and a tour of our extensive collection of Scott Wheeler's donated scores and recordings.

The event is curated by ICAMus Director, Aloma Bardi.
