Overtuned Fest, a genre-merging initiative developed by Alexey Logunov, Jee Won Kim, and Christopher Herz, took place February 23–26 in Bloomington, Indiana. The four-day festival brought together 50 composers, visual artists, and performers across four concerts presented at venues throughout the city.

The festival also marked the launch of the new music ensemble Overtuned, which presented its debut program on the opening night. Conceived as the beginning of a larger artistic initiative, Overtuned aims to create dynamic collaborations across musical styles, media, and artistic disciplines.

Overtuned Fest 2026 was made possible through generous support from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music Community Impact Grant, the Indiana University Funding Board, and the Open Stages Grant in partnership with Constellation Stage and Screen Inc.

The Overtuned team also gratefully acknowledges the support and collaboration of the Jacobs School of Music Office of Entrepreneurship and Career Development, the Student Composers Association, Pilar Arts, and WFHB Community Radio.

The festival team looks forward to future projects and extends sincere thanks to everyone who attended and supported the concerts.
