Five Composers of the Lyell Gustin Piano Studios: Musical Tribute to a Mentor.February 10, 2013
To mark the 25th anniversary of the passing of Lyell Gustin, who died February 7, 1988, at the age of 92, a program at Gustin House honoured Dr. Gustin with music composed by five of his graduates. The composers represented were: Lynda Finnimore and Ewen Coxworth, who commented on their works and took part in the performance; Boyd McDonald, whose pieces were introduced and performed by Gregory Schulte; and the late Marguerita Spencer and late Robert Fleming, whose compositions were presented by members of the studios of Marilyn Whitehead and Karen Sterner respectively. Walter Thiessens’s piano studio was also represented in the performances; in addition, Mr. Thiessen read Words of Remembrance about Lyell Gustin as written by Lloyd Rodwell for the funeral service of Dr. Gustin on February 11,1988.
The program celebrated the creativity that the Lyell Gustin Piano Studios inspired, as Gustin graduates throughout their careers have explored artistic expression through voice and instrument. Presented in the Gustin Studios, and with the last grand piano on which Dr. Gustin taught, the performances gave tribute to a great mentor whose influence continues to unfold as a rich legacy spanning past and present and reaching into the future.
