Last year Jordan was  overall winner of the prestigious National Youth Music Competition which draws top young musicians from all over the country who compete over four gruelling rounds, with only six finalists selected to perform a concerto with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra.
Jordan not only won the overall prize of a gold medal and R30 000, but also the prize for the best concerto performance in the final round for his exceptional rendition of the Sibelius violin concerto.
Jordan has performed as soloist with various orchestras and ensembles in the country and is also a keen chamber musician.
