"[25] Recent major projects include a commission for a concert length work, A More Convenient Season, for the Alabama Symphony Orchestra with chorus and soloists commemorating the 50th anniversary of an explosion that killed four in a Baptist church in Birmingham on September 15, 1963.

[26] In 2015, Haber's first monographic album of chamber music, Torus, was released on Roven Records and distributed by Naxos to wide critical acclaim, hailed by New York's WQXR as "a snapshot of a soul in flux – moving from life to the afterlife, from Israel to New Orleans – a composer looking for a sound and finding something powerful along the way.

"[31] Haber was hailed by the Los Angeles Times as one of five classical musicians "2014 Faces To Watch,”[32] and chosen as one of the “30 composers under 40” by Orpheus Chamber Orchestra's Project 440.
