         In August 2024, Jeffrey took part in the very first Cumnock Tryst Summer School for Composers in Ayrshire, Scotland, led by composers Sir James Macmillan and Oscar Bettison. As part of the program, his composition Cirrus received its premiere at the Dumfries House, under the direction of Sir James Macmillan.

         His very first orchestral composition Through Shattering Snow and Fallen Glass was the finalist of the 6th Tampa Bay Symphony International Composition Competition, and received a reading directed by Mark Sforzini.

​

         A recent composition Rondo Squilibrato, which is Jeffrey’s take on blending elements of jazz, contemporary, and classical forms will be recorded and released by record label Odd Sounds with collaborative pianist Joanne Kang (from Carnegie Hall’s: “ensemble connect”) as well as acclaimed jazz performers Jim Doxas (drums) and Adrian Vedady (bass).

​

         Notable upcoming projects include a commission for a newly formed Ensemble Éclat, as well as a commission for a new ATMA Classique album with the support of the Canadian Art Council, to be released in 2025.
