Stuart Wheeler
swheeler01@wesleyan.edu

Stuart Wheeler is a singer, composer, writer and instrumentalist engaged deeply in collaborative improvisation, intonation and measurement of time. From 2014 to 2016 Stuart was a co-curator of the wild, homegrown bi-weekly concert series Avant GaRawge, in Provo, Utah. During that time he also became involved in Deseret Experimental Opera (DEXO) – a DIY collective of musicians, poets, choreographers and visual artists who have bootstrapped a number of newly-created works situated within the malleable construct of opera. With DEXO, Stuart premiered The Heavenly City (2015), Red Lake (2016 – winner of the Alfred Lambourne Prize for sound) and the 55 brides of Brileen Young (2017), acting both as a composer and singer in all of those projects. He has created commissioned work for documentary film, screendance, plays, choir and Balinese gamelan. As of late, Stuart is increasingly interested in language, translation and theater.
