BiographyGuila Bustabo was a prominent American concert and recital violinist. Born in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, February 25, 1916 (neé Teressina Bustabo), she had a remarkable career, the latter part mostly in Europe due to her domineering mother’s poor political judgment, and was considered to be eccentric, but a superbly skilled and gifted artist. Her performances were characterized by intensity and extraordinary facility. She died in Birmingham, Alabama, April 27, 2002.
