NOAH JENKINS
Noah Jenkins is a composer and violinist/violist from Oregon now living in Chicago. Much of his recent work is inspired by the listening interactions of chamber music, the immersive potentials of drone music, and a fascination with psychoacoustic phenomena, rational intonation, and field recordings.
Noah’s music has been honored by leading ensembles of the contemporary music community including the Los Angeles Philharmonic (2024-25 Green Umbrella Series commission), Wild Up (2022 LA Phil National Composers Intensive), Mivos Quartet (2020 Kanter Prize finalist), and Wet Ink (2018 Wet Ink Large Ensemble Readings).
Noah holds a Ph.D. in Composition and Music Technology from Northwestern University, as well as degrees in violin performance and composition from the University of Oregon.
