Stuart Feder

Dr. Stuart Feder, MD, is a graduate in music and medicine, and a practicing psychoanalyst, Einstein School of Medicine, New York. His Mahler publications are well known and his two books on Charles Ives are an important part of the literature on this American maverick composer. As Dr. Feder describes in his book on Ives, My Father's Song, Ives may well have heard Mahler conduct in New York but, notwithstanding many stories (myths), there is no evidence that the two ever met or that Mahler ever saw scores of Ives. Dr. Feder gave lectures at MahlerFest XI and XII, and we are delighted to welcome him again for MahlerFest XVI.
