Sarah Gibson (composer)

[1][3] She worked as assistant director for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Composer Fellowship Program, alongside director Andrew Norman,[4] and as assistant professor of composition theory at the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music of Cal State Long Beach, where she also led the New Music Ensemble.

[4] Her Piano Concerto for the left hand, premiered with her as the soloist, won the University of Southern California's competition of new orchestral music.

Commissioned by the orchestra's 'Sound Investments' initiative, Gibson composed the score in a collaborative process that incorporated opinions from donors and musicians.

[9][10] At the scheduled August 2024 Prom concert, the BBC Philharmonic and conductor Anja Bihlmaier performed warp & weft instead.

[11] Reviewer Nick Boston from bachtrack noted that "there was a sense of momentum pushing through the collage of orchestral effects", and described the work of "complex rhythms" as "full of interest and challenge".

Her Left-hand Piano Concerto won The University of Southern California's New Music for Orchestra competition.
