An Evening with Jenni Brandon

Composer Jenni Brandon will be in attendance at this recital and will do a short presentation on her music before the performance.

Jeremy W. Reynolds joined the faculty of the University of Denver Lamont School of Music after performing as Principal Clarinetist with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra. Reynolds has performed on six continents making his Carnegie Hall Debut in 2015 with the Waldland Ensemble. In addition to his faculty position he also serves as Assistant Principal Clarinet with the Colorado Springs Philharmonic. Pianist Margaret McDonald, a Minnesota native, is professor of collaborative piano at the University of Colorado Boulder. She joined the College of Music keyboard faculty in fall 2004 and has helped to develop the college’s graduate degree program in collaborative piano as well as the undergraduate collaborative curriculum.

Jenni Brandon is a composer and conductor, creating music in collaboration with other musicians and artists.  She writes music that is beautiful and lyrical, telling stories through memorable musical lines often influenced by the collaborator’s story, nature, and poetry. She has been commissioned to write music for soloists, chamber ensembles, concertos, opera  and orchestra.  
 
Her music appears on over 20 albums, and has been awarded the Sorel Medallion, American Prize, Paderewski Cycle, Women Composers Festival of Hartford  International Composition Competition, and Bassoon Chamber Music Composition Competition among others. As a conductor she often conducts her own works and works by living composers. She conducted her one-act opera 3 PADEREWSKIS in the Terrace Theater at the Kennedy Center in  2019. She also presents workshops and talks on collaboration and the business of music, striving to create a supportive environment where collaboration leads to an exploration of ideas. 
 
When she is not making music, Jenni is often on her yoga mat, either practicing or teaching  yoga. Jenni also loves walking her dogs and traveling with her husband to snorkel in tropical waters. Visit jennibrandon.com to learn more.
