#artsongsforeveryone No. 1- Jen Davis

Welcome to a new feature here on Tenor Eleven Miles Away!  Art Songs for Everyone is my way to introduce you to people from all walks of life that have discovered art songs and found fulfillment.  It is my hope that you will enjoy their work as I do.

A few weeks ago, I posted a request for people to share their YouTube and SoundCloud recordings.  I've received some submissions already from students.  I'd love to get some from amateurs and professionals as well, so please pass them along along with your a photo, a brief bio, your website and Facebook links and perhaps a bit about why the song is so special to you!  You can send them to Denverartsongproject@gmail.com

Meet our first Art Song Singer!

Name: Jen Davis

Bio: Jennifer is completing her studies as a doctoral student in the voice department at the University of Northern Colorado. She is a frequent recitalist and concert soloist. In August 2016 Jennifer returned from two months in the Czech Republic where she studied and gave performances at the Janáček Academy of Music (JAMU) in Brno, and has been invited by Zdeněk Šmukař to return for the 2017-2018 academic year. Jennifer’s research includes Czech vocal music and she has been invited to give a concert in Prague of the music of Zdeněk Trnka in November 2017. Recent performances have featured a concert as part of a series at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Denver, and New Year’s Eve appearance with the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra (GPO) with Maestro Glen Cortese as conductor, as well as her final Doctoral Recital. Her roles have included Micaela, Pamina, Susanna, Despina with Rome Festival in Rome, Italy, Marie in La Fille du regiment with Opera Theatre of the Rockies, and Alice in Verdi’s Falstaff with the GPO.  Jennifer is the proud sole recipient of the 2015 Dante Alighieri Music Scholarship, which has been "established to enable students to advance their studies in operatic and classical music."
