"I believe that music is audible emotion. Live performance can capture a moment. There is nothing more exciting than being in the same room as a performer when they fully open up and let you connect in a direct way with their soul. This has become my mission; to share a piece of my heart with as many people as possible through song."

"Classical soprano Jennifer is one of the rising stars of the opera world, whose breath-taking vocal artistry comes with an endearing, easy-going style that has allowed her to grace grand opera, TV and sporting arenas with ease." - FC United of Manchester
