Library of Congress and recipient of the Eugene McDermott Award in the Arts from the
Massachusetts Institute OfTechnology as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award from
the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Libby Larsen is a vigorous, articulate
champion of the music and musicians of our time. In 1973, she со-founded (with
Stephen Paulus) the Minnesota Composers Forum, now the American Composers Forum,
which has been an invaluable advocate for composers in a difficult, transitional time for
American arts. Consistently sought-after as a leader in the generation of millennium
thinkers, Libby Larsen’s music and ideas have refreshed the concert music tradition and
the composer’s role in it.
