59th Annual Festival

The ISU School of Music is pleased to announce the 59th Annual Contemporary Music Festival, scheduled for October 22-24, 2025. The festival will feature acclaimed American composer Damien Geter whose music infuses classical music with various styles from the Black diaspora to create music that furthers the cause for social justice. The featured guest performers for the festival will be announced soon. Other guests will include the winners of the Music Now Contest.
Festival activities are made possible in part by Arts Illiana and the Indiana Arts Commission, which receives support from the State of Indiana and the National Endowment for the Arts.
