ABOUT JENNY

Jenny is a baroque cellist and cellist from Stockholm, Sweden. She has a broad spectrum of repertoire, from Swedish folk music to contemporary music, however Early Music has a special place in her heart. She has specialised mainly in baroque music and all it’s richness and variations, and it always gives her the space and inspiration to express herself musically in new ways.

Jenny enjoys playing as a soloist equally much as playing basso continuo lines, but above all she loves to play chamber music. The interaction with other musicians is one of her most important inspirations, and there are few things that can beat the feeling of joy she finds together with her fellow musicians.

Jenny, currently living in Stockholm, freelances throughout Europe, mostly in The Netherlands, Belgium and Sweden. This has given her the opportunity to, in addition to concerts with her own ensembles, play in many different contexts and groups.

ENSEMBLES

 The Swedish-Belgian quintet LAIA ARKESTRA with the unique line-up saxophone, violin, viola, baroque cello and oud. Neither jazz combo nor string quartet but somewhere in between, with an unmistakable oriental element from the oud. Their music combines classic composition techniques with free improvisation, western harmony with middle-eastern maqam and haunting melodies with abstract soundscapes. The ensemble released their debute album LAIA in November 2015.

NO TREBLE, a baroque cello-baroque bass duo, where Jenny together with the bass player Sarah Nygren explore the repertoire written for this slightly unusual combination of instruments. At present they’re playing a programme based on the music surrounding the double-bass virtuoso Domenico Dragonetti.

The ensemble is based in Malmö/Sweden and gathers for creative and cross artistic projects on the basis of the early music. In 2018 they released the CD Not in my Backyard, based on their post-colonial baroque cabaret with the same name.
