“[This] American composer 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.”

– Donald Rosenberg (Gramophone)

Jeremy was a first-prize winner in the 2021 The King’s Singers New Music Prize; the world premiere of his winning choral composition Invitation to Love was given that year at Washington National Cathedral.  His music has been presented by New York City Opera, ETHEL, the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra, the Apollo Chorus of Chicago, American Composers Orchestra, Center for Contemporary Opera, and the Louisville Orchestra, among others. Recordings of Jeremy’s orchestral, chamber, and vocal music are available on the neuma, Acis, innova, and Ablaze labels.

“I compose music that is direct: music that unfolds in a fresh tonal dialect and propelled by a contemporary rhythmic profile, while still derived from historical Western practice. It is music where mystery and design are equally embraced.”
