Romeo Maximilian Eugene Ludwig Gutsche (Americanized to Gene Gutchë), of affluent Polish and French parentage, studied as a child with Feruccio Busoni. In his late teens (1925), in conflict with his father over the notion of a career in music, he came to the United States, settled in Minnesota, and eventually completed a MA in Composition with Donald Ferguson at the University of Minnesota (1950) and a PhD in Composition with Philip Greely Clapp at the University of Iowa (1953).

His vigorous and colorful music, in a personal style which incorporated elements of Hindemith, Bartok and Stravinsky, won numerous international awards and several pieces were recorded (recently reissued by Composers Recordings Incorporated/CRI).

Always a loner and an individualist, Gutchë had no students, followed no particular ‘school’, and lived to compose, aided in many ways by Marion, his wife of 64 years.
