ARTHUR CUSTER:
CONCERTO
ARTHUR CUSTER, COMPOSER & CONDUCTOR
Arthur Russell Custer, born in Manchester, Connecticut on April 21,1923, showed an early interest in music, playing on a piano in the family home as a child. World War II temporarily interrupted Custer’s studies, and from 1942 until 1946 he served in the U.S. Navy as a fighter pilot in the South Pacific, attaining the rank of lieutenant junior grade. After leaving the Navy, Custer returned to college, this time taking up the study of music.
Custer began working on his PhD at the University of Iowa in 1956, studying under Philip Bezanson. He completed his dissertation with Concert Piece for Orchestra and Sextet for Woodwinds and Piano in August of 1959. Later that year Dr. Arthur Custer moved from Iowa to Spain to serve as Director of Music for the American School in Seville. Read More

ARTHUR RUSSELL CUSTER
(1923–1998)
Custer’s compositions were frequently abstract works that used serially ordered 12-tone techniques and also incorporated improvisation and humor. His pieces often used electronic sounds, particularly pre-recorded tape that was integrated into the performance of the piece.
