The Victoria Bach Festival celebrates the life of musician, teacher, and recording engineer Wilbur Collins, who recorded Festival concerts for over twenty years.
Wilbur’s passion for music, his love of musicians, and his insatiable curiosity were inspiring to others. His dedication to excellence in sound recording leaves a legacy of wonderful musical moments for the Victoria Bach Festival, Victoria Symphony, and music organizations across the state of Texas.
