Check out this video profile of Augusta Read Thomas done by New Music Box: The Web Magazine from the American Music Center.

Gusty, as she is fondly referred to by friends, is one of the most prolific composers of our times – and we are please to briefly mention that we have partnered with her in celebrating the centennial anniversary of Mahler’s death in 2011. We’re planning something BIG!

The title is “White Fire of the Stars, Songs of Eternity”

Gusty is the youngest of 10 children!
