The Winter Vibe Fest interview with Dr. Brian S. Graiser

An interview with Dr. Brian S. Graiser, Artist/Instructor of Music, Arkansas State University and President of Vibraphone Project, Inc., discussing the Winter Vibe Fest.

The Winter Vibe Fest is a one-day festival which serves as the final chapter of a multi-year celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the invention of the vibraphone, a uniquely American instrument first built in Indianapolis in 1921. The festival will take place all day on Saturday (12/10) at Schaeffer Auditorium, with daytime clinics and concerts from 9:00am-6:00pm and a gala evening concert at 7:30pm (evening concert tickets sold separately). The daytime sessions will feature clinics and panel discussions by visiting scholars and experts, on topics ranging from vibraphone history and playing techniques to discussions with some of the featured composers on the day's programming, plus a roundtable discussion about the hosting organization, The Vibraphone Project. The first daytime concert will be at 2:30 and will feature performances of the award-winning works from the Vibraphone Project's 2021 Call for Scores, featuring music by Gavin Goodrich, Brian Graiser, Bryan Jeffs, and Stephen Solook. The second daytime concert will take place at 5:00 and will feature Peruvian jazz vibraphonist Alonso Alejandro Acosta Flores and his quartet performing music from their latest project. The gala evening concert is a star-studded event packed with world premiere performances by Matthew Lau, Steph Davis, Abby Fisher, and the Bergamot String Quartet, including works by composers Robert Honstein and Pamela Z commissioned by The Vibraphone Project with grant assistance from New Music USA. The evening concert will also include the official announcement of the winners of the 2022 Vibraphone Project Legacy Awards, with video appearances and tributes from special guests.
