Paul Gibson

Paul Gibson has been passionate about choral music since he was four years old and heard Benedictine monks chanting in a small French monastery. After accepting a position as organist and guitar/group leader/cantor at St. Monica’s in Santa Monica, he went on to serve as a cantor for the Cathedral of Orange after 30 years of service.

Gibson’s critically acclaimed music and collections have garnered numerous awards and recognitions including the Owen Award from OCP for outstanding achievement in the field of liturgical music and have been performed by such renowned musicians as Lucinda Carver, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and many others.

Currently, in addition to composing, he works as a staff writer for the Los Angeles Philharmonic and has recently finished a three-movement work for flute, viola, and harp called Ternion Sonata No. 1 and a revision of his beloved Christmas Mass in accordance with the new Roman Missal.

Paul Gibson holds Bachelor’s of Music degree summa cum laude from Mount St. Mary’s College and a M.A. in music composition from California State University and lives with his wife in Downey, CA.
