Jeffrey Hoover’s compositions – ranging from music for soloist to symphony orchestra – have received recognition through the prestigious Trieste prize, awards from Mu Phi Epsilon, the Lancaster Fine Arts Festival, grants, publications, fellowships and numerous commissions. He is a member of the ACME roster of Mu Phi Epsilon, recognized for distinguished achievement in composition. Hoover creates two types of artistic works – musical compositions, and interdisciplinary works that combine his compositions with his own paintings. Images of his paintings can be projected while the musicians perform his music. His experience as a musical performer includes both classical and jazz music; a saxophonist and conductor of wind ensemble, orchestra, and jazz ensemble. As a producer of New Music Today concerts, he is active in bringing together the audience, composers, and performers. Born on September 11, 1959, in Anderson, Indiana, Jeffrey Hoover holds a Ph.D. in Fine Arts (Composition and Interdisciplinary Fine Arts) from Texas Tech University, as well as a M.M. in Composition and Musicology and Bch.Sc. in Music Education from Ball State University.
