Composer of the Month December 2023: Amanda Harberg
Composer/pianist/educator Amanda Harberg’s music has been performed at major venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Verizon Hall, and Symphony Center. In 2021, Maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducted the premiere of her Piccolo Concerto with soloist Erica Peel and the Philadelphia Orchestra, calling it "an extraordinary addition to the limited repertoire." A widely commissioned composer, her music has been recognized with a Fulbright Hays Fellowship, Juilliard's Peter Mennin Prize, two New Jersey Council on the Arts Fellowships, a New York State Council on the Arts fellowship, a MacDowell Colony summer residency, and nine NFA Newly Published Music awards. In 2021 she was the International Clarinet Association’s “Composer of the Month”, and her woodwind works are regularly used as required repertoire for national and international competitions. Her Concerto for Viola and Orchestra was recorded on Naxos American Classics in 2017 to critical acclaim. Dr. Harberg lives with her family in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, where she is the 2023 Chamber-Music Composer-In-Residence with the New York String Orchestra Seminar, and the Composer-in-Residence with the Ridgewood Symphony Orchestra. She teaches at Rutgers University and Interlochen Center for the Arts. Her works are published by Theodore Presser and AH Publishing. View all compositions by Amanda Harberg
