Composer/pianist/educator Amanda Harberg’s music has been presented at major venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Verizon Hall, and Symphony Center. In 2021, Maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducted the premiere of her Piccolo Concerto with soloist Erica Peel and the Philadelphia Orchestra, calling it "an extraordinary addition to the limited repertoire." A widely commissioned composer, Harberg is the "Composer of the Month" at Theodore Front Music (December, 2023). Her music is published by Presser and by AH Productions, and has been recognized by a Fulbright Hays Fellowship, Juilliard's Peter Mennin Prize, two New Jersey Council on the Arts Fellowships, a New York State Council on the Arts fellowship, a MacDowell Colony summer residency, and nine NFA Newly Published Music awards. In 2021 she was the International Clarinet Association’s “Composer of the Month”, and her woodwind works are regularly used as required repertoire for national and international competitions. Her Concerto for Viola and Orchestra was recorded on Naxos American Classics in 2017 to critical acclaim. In the 2023/24 season, Harberg will appear as a guest with the Phoenix Symphony, the Ridgewood Symphony, the Flute Center of New York, the University of Colorado Boulder, Coastal Carolina University, Arizona State University, Eastern Michigan University, the New Jersey Flute Society and the New York Flute Club.

Dr. Harberg lives with her family in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, where she is the 2023 Chamber-Music Composer-In-Residence with the New York String Orchestra Seminar, and the Composer-in-Residence with the Ridgewood Symphony Orchestra. She teaches at Rutgers University and Interlochen Center for the Arts. To find out more, please visit https://amandaharberg.com/
