Jenny Vincent has performed as a soloist throughout Canada and the United States and has enthusiastically shared the stage with other musicians, choirs and colleagues from coast to coast. In 2010, she performed the complete organ works of J. S. Bach in a series of eighteen concerts in St. John’s, NL.
Since her arrival in the Oceanside area, Jenny has amply demonstrated her eagerness to explore many genres of music, from Bach to Deep Purple, as witnessed by audiences in a recent inaugural concert for the new organ at Knox. Her expressive playing tells a story - she brings to life the meaning in the music for all to enjoy and appreciate. It is with this versatility and passion that Jenny strives to make the organ a valued and accepted contemporary musical instrument. |
