Jordan has received commissions from the Bristol New Music Festival, Ty Cerdd, and the Welsh Music Guild.

 

In 2017, he began studying for his PhD in composition at Bristol University as a result of being offered a full scholarship by the university focusing on the incorporation of folklore from Canada and Cornwall. Jordan is this year’s recipient of the Paul Mealor Award for Young Composers.
