	Musicians - Jeffrey Mumford

Jeffrey Mumford (born 1955 in Washington, D.C.) is a U.S. composer. He holds degrees from the University of California, Irvine (B.A., 1977) and the University of California, San Diego (M.A., 1981).

Mumford's compositions, though thorougly modern, are evocative and impressionistic, exploring the sensuous and tactile nature of sound in subtle and sophisticated ways. Like many other 20th and 21st century classical works, his compositions often involve a high degree of rhythmic complexity.

Mumford has taught at the Washington Conservatory of Music (1989-99), served as Artist-in-Residence at Bowling Green State University (1999-00), and served as assistant professor of composition and Composer-in-Residence at the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music. He has received grants from the Guggenheim Foundation, American Music Center, Ohio Arts Council, and ASCAP Foundation, and has been awarded seven Meet the Composer grants.

Mumford's orchestral works have been performed by the National Symphony Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and American Composers Orchestra.

Mumford's works have been recorded by the CRI label and his scores are published by Theodore Presser.
