The music of American composer Jeff Myers (b.1977) has been called “Striking…and harmonically rich” by the New York Times and “brilliant and powerful” by The Classical Voice of New England. He was hailed as a "gifted young composer" by New York Times critic Anthony Tommasini for the “engrossing” 2016 Fort Worth Opera staging of his opera Buried Alive.

Vocal music has been central to Myers’s output, from his operas with librettists Quincy Long (Buried Alive, The Embalmer’s Daughter) and Royce Vavrek (The Hunger Art, Maren of Vardø), to collaborations with American Lyric Theater, Beth Morrison Projects, Ekmeles, and poet Jennifer de Guzman (Boy, Advice to a Migraineure). He has collaborated with soprano Rachel Schutz, and mezzos Anna Laurenzo, and Rachel Calloway on several projects.

Myers’ discography has been slowly growing over the last few years. His violin duo The Angry Birds of Kauai, commissioned by Hilary Hahn, appears on her Grammy-winning album In 27 Pieces: The Hilary Hahn Encores and is published by Boosey & Hawkes. His debut album Requiem, with mezzo-soprano Rachel Calloway and JACK Quartet, was released on Innova Recordings in 2024, followed by his electronic album Goodnight on Neuma Records in 2025. Other works have appeared on albums by Miolina, Yang Jing, Laura Klock, and Music in the American Wild. An upcoming vocal album with Rachel Schutz and Andrea Christie is currently in the works.

His music has been performed at venues such as Carnegie Hall, Disney Concert Hall, Library of Congress, Darmstadt, festivals such as Tanglewood, Aspen, Acanthes, and Gaudeamus, and he has received awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Fromm Foundation, BMI, ASCAP and others.

A student of grammy winning composers William Bolcom and Michael Daugherty, Myers holds degrees from the Eastman School of Music and the University of Michigan. He lives in New York City, where he works as a freelance composer and music engraver.
