Barbara Maier Gustern is a voice teacher, singer/actor, director and producer. Her teaching includes classical, cantorial, pop, rock and cabaret. As a singer/actor she appeared in major roles in musicals off Broadway and in summer stock across the country, often with her husband, basso Joseph Gustern. When she began to teach Diamanda Galas her real life’s work emerged - working with the downtown/alt cabaret performers. Soon Debby Harry, Justin Vivian Bond, John Kelly, Carol Lipnik, and a host of other luminaries became regular students. She was the vocal supervisor for three Broadway shows: Metro, Passing Strange and the revival of Oklahoma.
