American composer Jeremy Beck “knows the importance of embracing the past while also going his own way. … [In] Beck’s forceful and expressive sound world … the writing is concise in structure and generous in tonal language, savouring both the dramatic and the poetic.” (Gramophone). A first-prize winner in the 2021 The King’s Singers New Music Prize, Beck’s music has been presented by the American Composers Orchestra, New York City Opera, the Apollo Chorus of Chicago, Center for Contemporary Opera, Yale Opera, and the Louisville Orchestra, among others. A graduate of the Mannes College of Music, Duke University, and the Yale School of Music, recordings of Beck’s orchestral, chamber, and vocal music are available on the Neuma, Innova, and Ablaze labels.
