BTFP: An Auditions’ Concert

When Jenness originally launched her musical career, she was a lyric mezzo. The following videos are from her operatic concert she gave in a “send-off” performance just before her move to NYC. The “An Auditions Concert” was performed at the Jack Rodgers Auditorium of the Odessa College Campus, Thursday, August 4, 2011. Jenness coordinated, performed, and emceed the entire event, accompanied by Ms. Gayle Bizzell and Ms. LuAnn Lane on the piano. The concert was separated into 3 Acts, 3 songs each, of classical arias, Broadway numbers, and oratorio pieces, with musical interludes (piano duets) by the pianists, resulting in a very entertaining evening of music.
