Miss Farber was the recipient of the prestigious Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Internship in Film Scoring, as well as the mentorship program of the Society of Composers and Lyricists, on which she currently serves as a board member.
Farber's first professional work in Los Angeles was orchestrating and writing additional music for composer Shirley Walker.
Such performances include The Third Mother/Mothers’ Lament, in memory of slain reporter Daniel Pearl, which was world premiered by the Los Angeles Master Chorale, under the direction of Grant Gershon, and won her the First Prize in the Cincinnati Camerata Composition Competition in 2007.
