We are in the “Red Stick” today; Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Not only is it home to the LSU Tigers (GEAUX TIGAHS) and Southern University Panthers, but it is also home to our next guest: Mara Gibson. She is originally from Charlottesville, Virginia, and eventually went on to Bennington College and then SUNY Buffalo where she completed her Ph.D. She has received grants and honors from the American Composer’s Forum, The Banff Center, Louisiana Division of the Arts, ArtsKC, Meet the Composer, the National Endowment for the Arts, ASCAP, the MacDowell Colony, and Yale University. Her music has been performed throughout the United States, Canada, South America, Asia, and Europe. She previously worked at the University of Missouri, Kansas City Conservatory, and now works at Louisiana State University as Associate Professor of Music Composition. In the summer of 2020, she released her third CD project featuring Secret Sky performed by the Athens Philharmonic Orchestra. Today we are going to talk to her about her life, her music, and the intersections of art and music.Guest:Mara GibsonMara Gibson’s website: www.maragibson.com Music Included in this Episode:Blackbird by Mara Gibson.
