Composer Kristin Kuster “writes commandingly for the orchestra,” and her music “has an invitingly tart edge” (The New York Times). Her colorfully enthralling, lush and visceral compositions take inspiration from architectural space, the weather, and mythology. Her orchestral music “unquestionably demonstrates her expertise in crafting unique timbres” (Steve Smith, Night After Night). Upcoming and recent premieres of Kuster’s music have included works for the Philadelphia-based Network for New Music, The Colorado Music Festival Orchestra, the Lisbon Summerfest Chamber Choir, multi-percussionist Joseph Gramley and the Donald Sinta Quartet.Born in 1973, Ms. Kuster grew up in Boulder, Colorado. She is an Associate Professor of Composition at the University of Michigan, and lives in Ann Arbor. http://kristinkuster.com/
