Steven R. Gerber's music has gained international attention as a result of
two recent CD releases (on Chandos and KOCH) featuring several of his major
orchestral works, including the Symphony No. 1. Gerber has achieved also
great success in the United States and in his ten tours of the former Soviet
Union, perhaps becoming the most often-played living American composer in
that area. Of the Symphony No. 1, Evening Moscow declares, "Gerber could
serve as an example of American musical professionalism ...he stands out
with the highest of temperaments and musical taste." Mr. Gerber has written
for a number of fine soloists including Yuri Bashmet for the viola concerto,
Kurt Nikkanen for the violin concerto and Carter Brey for the cello concerto.
His work has been performed by groups such as the Louisville Orchestra,
Knoxville Chamber Orchestra, the Fine Arts Quartet, the National Chamber
Orchestra and the Russian Philharmonic. Steven R. Gerber is the subject
of a recent Electronic Dialogue interview in Sequenza 21 web magazine. Read
