Spirited and sensitive, Jennifer King is a versatile pianist who enjoys exploring the world of classical music in the 21st century through the presentation of new music and the revisiting of past musical gems. She has established herself as a sought-after talent on concert stages across Atlantic Canada in both the role of soloist and collaborative artist. Her remarkable career spans three decades and the impact of her artistry has inspired the dedication of piano works and a growing number of commissions from Canadian composers. King’s countless contributions to musical life in the province have been celebrated with an Award of Appreciation from the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia.
These past several years have seen King truly blossom as a recording artist. Frequently heard on CBC Ici Music and CBC Radio 2, her growing catalogue of works began with the 2018 release of O Mistress Moon, a collection of two centuries of Nocturnes and night inspired music. Consecutive releases include a live recording in 2019 (Doolittle: Minute Études “Excerpts”) and a collection of twelve short piano works inspired by fairy tales in 2020 (Twilight Hour: Collected Stories for Piano). In 2022, Jennifer released O Mistress Moon: Canadian Edition. Distributed by Leaf Music in Halifax, this set of twelve contemporary piano works embodies the moon, outer space, and the night. The album has received praise for its “dramatic out of this world sonic listening” (The WholeNote); it won Classical Album of the Year at the East Coast Music Awards 2023; has been featured on the cover of Tidal Music’s Piano Spheres playlist; and has seen numerous tracks featured in Apple Music curated playlists.
A familiar face on stages across Atlantic Canada, Jennifer has presented hundreds of recitals for many of our region's iconic festivals and concert series. Performing as a soloist and as a collaborative artist alongside some of Canada's most respected singers and musicians, King's recent performances include Nova Scotia Music Week, the East Coast Music Awards, the Scotia Festival Chamber Players Series, the Open Waters Festival, Sunday Music in the Garden Room at Acadia University, and the Cecilia Concert Series. With the latter, King combines her musical gifts and strong community spirit to curate, host, and perform in Cecilia Concerts’ Sensory-Accessible Concert Program. The success of Jennifer’s advocacy is undeniable; audiences for these sensory accessible performances have grown by more than 500% in a single concert season. Jennifer also has co-written a musical play with mezzo-soprano Suzanne Campbell about women gaining the right to vote. “The Bessie Carruthers Study Club” features Jennifer as British composer and suffragist, Ethel Smyth while Suzanne plays the titular real life figure of Bessie. This play won a Prince Edward Island Heritage Recognition Award in March 2024 and received funding to tour by Innovation PEI and PEI Culture Action Plan.
Jennifer’s academic achievements include a Master of Music in solo piano performance from McGill University, a Bachelor of Music from Acadia University, and postgraduate diplomas from the University of Reading (UK) and the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London, England. Her artistry has been encouraged through the support of scholarships (Kneisel Hall Chamber Music School (US), the Nova Scotia Talent Trust) and grants (Britten Pears School of Advanced Musical Studies (UK), Arts Nova Scotia,Music Nova Scotia, Factor, Canada Council). As an artist, King continues grow and explore by pushing boundaries and finding new meaningful ways to build community.
