Jenny Thompson

Jenny, 23, is a first-year Masters student at the University of Denver, where she pursues an MM in Classical Vocal Performance and studies opera as a lyric coloratura soprano. She enjoys academic writing and research, and has written on musical topics such as the Baroque castrati, Surrealism in modern opera, African-American composers, and vocal pedagogy for transgender singers. She is a Los Angeles native who has since moved to other sunny places like Miami and Colorado, and loves to spend time in nature. Jenny is passionate about the survival and well-being of the arts, especially opera, and believes that this can best be achieved through education. I look forward to presenting my work this week, and very much hope you enjoy it!
