Jenny Klukken:Crossover marimbist
Jenny combines her background in classical percussion with her passion for improv-based music. Jenny approaches the marimba with the same versatility as a jazz pianist or guitarist; engaging in live-music making through improvisation.
Jenny pushes the boundaries of the instrument, taking the marimba back to its origins in improv-based songs and tunes. She writes genre-blending music that centers the marimba in order to pull in new audiences. Jenny teaches lessons, clinics, and masterclasses on embracing improvisation as a classically trained marimbist.
