Victoria Symphony

Canadian-American composer Jared Miller’s music has been described as “playful” (The New York Times), “phantasmagorical” (Lucid Culture), and “highly personal” (CBC Radio.) He has worked with many ensembles in North America and internationally, including the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, The Juilliard Orchestra, and the Attacca Quartet. His orchestral work, 2010 Traffic Jam, was commissioned by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra for the 2010 Olympics and has since been performed over two dozen times. Recently, Jared’s orchestral work, Contrasted Perspectives, was selected from over 400 scores to be publicly work-shopped in June 2014 by the American Composers Orchestra as a part of the New York Philharmonic’s Biennial. He has won numerous awards for composition that include an ASCAP Morton Gould Award, The Juilliard Orchestra’s Composition Competition, and two SOCAN Awards for Young Composers. Other commissions include works for the Victoria Symphony, the New York City Ballet’s Choreographic Institute, Latitude 49, the Emily Carr String Quartet, Standing Wave Ensemble, and the Banff Centre.

Miller is currently completing his doctorate at The Juilliard School where he studies with John Corigliano. He is also the Composer-in-Residence for the Victoria Symphony in Canada and currently shares his time between New York and Victoria.
