JEFF KRYKA.
LECTURER
MUSIC -- COMPOSITION AND THEORY
email: [email protected]
Born in Rochester, MN, composer JEFF KRYKA studied music composition at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison with composers Stephen Dembski, Laura Schwendinger, and Joel
Naumann, receiving his undergraduate degree in May 2006. In the fall of that year he began
graduate work at the University of California-Los Angeles, studying with composers Paul
Chihara, Roger Bourland, Ian Krouse, and David Lefkowitz. He received his masters degree in
2008, and his PhD in 2011. At UCLA he also studied film music with composers Charles Fox,
Laura Karpman, and orchestration with Bruce Broughton.
In 2006 Jeff was named the First Prize winner of the Turner Classic Movies Young Film
Composers Competition. His score was chosen out of a field of over 650 international
participants, and judged by Academy Award-winning film composer Hans Zimmer. In 2008 Jeff
was admitted into ASCAP’s prestigious Film and Television Scoring Workshop with Richard
Bellis, where he was selected among 12 composers from 300 international applicants. As a
participant, he conducted his music with the Hollywood Studio Symphony at 20th Century Fox’s
Newman Scoring Stage. He was honored by the ASCAP Foundation as a recipient of the David
Rose Scholarship and the RMA L.A. Grant.
In 2010 Jeff's music was featured in the Laguna Beach Music Festival, where Maria Bachmann
and Jon Klibonoff premiered his Robin Hood Fantasy, a work the Orange County Register
praised as “gooey, gamboling, and heroic.” Later that year Jeff served as composer for the 39th
Annual Hollywood Reporter Key Art Awards, in a ceremony held at the Vibiana Cathedral in
downtown Los Angeles. Recordings of Jeff's arrangements of music by J.S. Bach for string
orchestra and solo violin, featuring violinist Anne Akiko Meyers and the English Chamber
Orchestra, are available on eOne Records (Spring, 2012)
