Aaron Garber believes in promoting good choral music throughout the area and beyond. As a conductor, he has directed many concerts which have included major works such as the Dubois Seven Last Words, the Pinkham Christmas Cantata, Handel’s Messiah, the Rutter Gloria, the Vivaldi Gloria, and the world premieres of his own major works, Job, Mary, the Mother of Jesus and Mass for Peace.
 

Mr. Garber won the 2001 Raymond W. Brock Student Composition Contest, a national contest held in conjunction with the American Choral Directors Association. The winning composition, Stabat Mater, an a cappella choral work, was premiered at the ACDA National Convention in San Antonio, Texas in March, 2001. He is published by Concordia Publishing House and Yelton Rhodes Publishers.

Additionally, Aaron is an accomplished composer. He will make his Carnegie Hall debut as a conductor and composer in 2008 featuring the world premiere of his Magnificat, which is scored for full orchestra, chorus, and soprano soloist. This event is produced by MidAmerica Productions.

Aaron was recently named the 2007 Young Alumnus of the Year from Bridgewater College and was also chosen for Who’s Who in America for 2007. In addition, the City of Salem named May 6, 2007 “Aaron Garber Day.”
