Recent commissions include chamber works for the Gaudete Brass Quintet, the Guidonian Hand, and Choral Chameleon, and an evening-length opera based on Brian Castner’s acclaimed memoir The Long Walk: A Story of War and the Life that Follows for American Lyric Theater. An active trombonist, he performed with TILT Brass in SuperCriticalMass’s SWELTER at the Central Park Lake as part of Make Music New York, and plays regularly with the Chelsea Symphony. He is the first Composer-in-Residence of the Guidonian Hand trombone quartet, whose recording of Awakening is available on iTunes, Amazon, and bandcamp. Jeremy studied at The Juilliard School with John Corigliano and Christopher Rouse, and at New York University with Mark Adamo and Deniz Hughes. (taken from http://www.jeremyhowardbeck.com)
