Kara Gibbs

Kara Gibbs lives in Vancouver, BC. She was recently commissioned by McGregor-Verdejo Duo to write a piece for flute, guitar and soprano that was premiered as part of VICO's 2019 Global Soundscapes Festival, featuring text by poet Carolyn Nakagawa. Her piece “Untitled Scenes: Two Remembered and One Imagined" was featured on the Tiresias Duo’s 2014 Trade Winds album, a composition WholeNote Magazine called a “discovery” that “covers the gamut from playful to meditative and serene.” Kara studied composition at UBC with Keith Hamel, and is currently continuing her studies with composer Jennifer Butler. She performs with the Balinese ensemble Gamelan Gita Asmara.
