WELCOME to the Indiana State University School of Music

Dr. Theodore PiechocinskiFrom Ted. J. Piechocinski, JD, Interim Director of the School of Music:
It’s hard to believe that the Fall 2022 semester is halfway gone. It has been an extremely busy and productive period for everyone in the School of Music. Our major ensembles have already performed at least once and the reception has been terrific. The Marching Sycamores have impressed everyone with their spirit, entertaining shows (the whole band doing the Thriller dance was great fun!), and they sound great. New ensemble directors Dr. Kathryn Spangler, Dr. Stephen Gage, and Jay Ellsmore have done tremendous work with their ensembles, and the students are ENGAGED and EXCITED!

At this writing, we are ready to open our 56th Annual Contemporary Music Festival. The slate of activities is full and, as always, a great asset to our students and community. With guest composers Stacy Garrop, CMF Composition Contest winner, Kyle Rivera and several other guest composers, we are excited to continue this tradition of celebrating that which is NEW and ear-opening for our students and community.
