Jordyn Gallinek is an American composer, educator, and performing musician based in New York. She began studying music at the age of eight, discovering a passion for composition soon after exploring every instrument she encountered. After graduating from NYU with a BM in Music Composition and an MA in Music Education, she received her MM in Music Composition at the Juilliard School. In the fall of 2020, she stayed on to pursue the Doctor of Musical Arts program as a C.V. Starr Doctoral Fellow, studying Music Composition with Robert Beaser.

She has also been awarded Composer Fellowships at the Aspen Summer Music Festival in 2021, the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival in 2019, and the Seal Bay Festival in 2017. Jordyn’s works have been performed in the United States and Asia, notably by the Juilliard Orchestra, the Oregon Wind Quintet, the Cassatt String Quartet, the Eroica Initiative, and the Femmelody Chamber Collective. While pursuing her degrees, she also studied with Christopher Rouse, Justin Dello Joio, and Joseph Church.
As an educator, Jordyn is currently a Teaching Fellow at The Juilliard School in the Ear Training and Music Theory departments. She teaches the Musicianship Program as a Musician in Residence at the Bader International Study Center at Queens University, and she also holds experience teaching primary and secondary school music theory, concert band, and general music
