Jeremiah Bornfield – Composer

Introduced by Martin Scorsese (Executive Producer, Diane) as a composer to watch, and described by Rolling Stone critic Peter Travers as “gifted”, Jeremiah’s body of work in film includes several projects with former New York Film Festival Director Kent Jones including the Cannes Film Festival Golden Eye nominated Hitchcock/Truffaut and Tribeca Film Festival winning Diane, which also projects into President Obama’s best of 2019 list. 

After receiving a masters degree in music composition in 2009 from the City University of New York, Hunter College, Jeremiah was primarily focused on writing and presenting experimental chamber music and multimedia operas, of which he wrote three, two of which he directed. With many performances and program curations between 2006-12  at legendary local NYC venues such as Galapagos Art Space and Monkeytown Jeremiah created music for 2021 Grammy Nominee Curtis Stewart, Metropolitan Opera Singers Trudy Craney (Grammy Winner – Nixon in China) and Nicholas Tamagna, CMA Visionary Seth Parker Woods, international award winning librettist Royce Vavrek and the all encompassing NYC musical treasure that is violinist Mary Rowell. A breakthrough of monetary proportions came in 2013 when Jeremiah was invited to compose jingles for NYC ad agencies which has yielded nearly 100 commercials, including brand launches for Vogue Scandinavia and Duty Free Shopping. As a film composer he has recorded scores with Grammy winning Attacca Quartet, also Grammy winning (different Grammy) So Percussion and the Prague Philharmonic. Jeremiah is the winner of a gold medal in film scoring from the International Independent Film Awards, Award of Excellence for scoring at Accolade Film Competition and winner of best score at Golden Door Film Festival.

Jeremiah’s music has been enjoyed in dozens of cities and large venues around the world including Carnegie Hall, Taipei National Theater, and the Concert Hall of Beijing Central Conservatory. Jeremiah has been Composer in Residence for the LGT Young Soloists, the foremost youth string orchestra in Europe, and also founder and director of Sound Economics where he presents lectures on music theory and history at The Henry George School on East 38th Street in New York City where he resides. Recent commissions include a viola concerto for Dr. Boris Vayner and the orchestra at University of Kansas, Lawrence.
