If you want to know a little about Jenny – here’s a little summary of her cello career.

Jennifer Janse (cello)

Jennifer read music at Cambridge before winning several scholarships to study the cello at the Royal Academy of Music in London. In 1991 Jennifer, together with pianist Virginia Hanslip, won third prize in the prestigious Shostakovich International Chamber Music Competition in St Petersburg, Russia. They were the first ever non- Soviet prize winners. Through Yehudi Menuhin’s ‘Live Music Now’, Jennifer gave more than a hundred solo recitals throughout England and featured on a documentary with Yehudi.

A highly experienced recitalist and chamber musician, Jennifer has collaborated with many fine musicians. For more than twenty years she performed, broadcast and recorded across Europe with her ensemble, The Musicke Companye. Recently she was featured live on BBC Radio 3’s ‘Breakfast’ playing Mozart and Schubert with violinist Rafael Todes and pianist Simon Phillips.

As an orchestral musician Jennifer has played worldwide for many orchestras including the RPO, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Northern Sinfonia, The English Concert, The Sixteen and played principal cello with Northern Ballet, The  King’s Consort and European Baroque Orchestra. Jennifer is an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music, an honour given to musicians who have achieved distinction in the profession. Jennifer has a passion for promoting music education and as well as teaching the cello privately, teaches at Cranleigh School.
