Jennifer King: The Award Winning Pianist That’s Championing Canadian Women Composers
About this episode
The episode features an interview with award-winning pianist Jennifer King, discussing her career and advocacy for Canadian women composers.
On today's episode, we sit down with Jennifer King, the award-winning pianist and recording artist. We talk about her early days learning music and the importance of being able to access music education, as well as her phenomenal career as a performer, teacher, and actress - playing the role of Ethel Smyth in The Bessie Carruthers Study Club. With such an impressive career, Jennifer has no desire to slow down and enjoy the fruits of her labour quite yet. In fact, there's one area of music she hasn't explored - and that's composing! Although, if you think her compositions might have a similar tone to her other four albums - well, I won't spoil it for you, but she lets us know in the episode. ;) Jennifer King: Website: https://www.jenniferkingpiano.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenniferkingpiano?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Cecilia Concerts Sensory Accessible Concerts https://www.ceciliaconcerts.ca/sensory-accessible-concerts/?srsltid=AfmBOorQY9pqpJCBRZMU82-7AqeKnftfslcYgr6--CUcMZQ0j4Nz-Ain ✨New Episodes Every Monday✨ Let’s Get Social 📱 For more Classical Queens, follow us on: Video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@ChordsandQueens…
