Jacob Beranek is an American composer of music rooted in melody and narrative structure, with a unique perspective in honoring traditions—musical, religious, or even his Czech heritage.
He currently serves as Composer-in-Residence for the Midsummer’s Music Festival, and his works have been championed by such acclaimed ensembles as The Gesualdo Six (London), the Band of the Castle Guards & Czech Police (Prague Castle), the Wisconsin Philharmonic Orchestra, and the GRAMMY®-nominated ALIAS Chamber Ensemble (Nashville). Upcoming highlights in 2020-21 include performances by the Euterpe Quintet in South Korea's Seoul Art Center, the Chicago Philharmonic Chamber Players, Midsummer's Music, the Vanderbilt Music Akademie in Berlin, and a European tour with the Jubilate Chorale. |
