ABOUT
Jordan Kuspa’s music has been praised in the New York Times as “animated and melodically opulent” and “consistently alive and inspired.” His works juxtapose a bristling rhythmic drive with expansive textures and sinuously interwoven counterpoint. Explorative and eclectic, Kuspa’s music encompasses intricate motivic
developments, carefully-wrought formal structures, and unexpected detours of wit and whimsy. Kuspa earned his doctorate from the Yale School of Music and also studied at Rice University. He is currently based in Southern California.
