One of the leading composers of our time and an ardent promoter of   new music throughout the world, Augusta Read Thomas is an artistic force   to be reckoned with.
Championed by Pierre Boulez in her early years  and later named  composer-in-residence with the Chicago Symphony  Orchestra, Thomas rose  early to the top of her profession and has  remained there ever since.
