Composer
Dwight Gustafson (1930-)
Dwight Leonard Gustafson (born April 20, 1930) is a composer, conductor, and dean emeritus of the School of Fine Arts, Bob Jones University.
Gustafson was born in Seattle, Washington of a father who was a meat dealer and lay preacher and a mother who was a pianist and harpist. Despite early violin training, Gustafson was attracted to a career in art and design. As a sophomore at Bob Jones University, he was asked to make sketches for a production of Cyrano de Bergerac and ended by designing the sets. In 1954, shortly before graduating from BJU with an M.A. in music, he was flabbergasted to be asked by the then-president, Bob Jones, Jr., to become dean of the School of Fine Arts. Gustafson was 24.[1] Eventually he also earned a D. Mus. in composition from Florida State University, and in 1960, he was selected as one of ten young conductors to study at the Aspen School of Music.
