Stuart Feder

Dr. Stuart Feder, M.D. has degrees in music and medicine and is a practicing psychoanalyst at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine in New York City. 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's latest book, Mahler in Crisis, was recently published by Yale University Press. Dr. Feder lectured at MahlerFest XI, XII, and XVI, and we are delighted to welcome him again for MahlerFest XVIII.
