A stellar composer and performer; her music really deserves to be in the standard repertoire. Be sure to go to the substack (link below) where there are several links to recordings. Among her close associates and friends were Brahms, the Herzogenbergs, the Griegs, Smyth, Joachim, and Clara Schumann.\n\nListen to the end for Sandra's entrepreneurial idea to honour Amanda Maier. 🍮🍬\nJennifer Martyn enjoys a busy career as performer, teacher, and researcher. She holds degrees in violin performance from the University of Toronto (BMus, DMA), and Mannes College (MMus) in New York City. Dr. Martyn has performed with the National Arts Centre Orchestra, the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, the Kingston, Ottawa, Niagara, and Windsor Symphonies, l’Ensemble Prisme, Consortium Aurora Borealis, and the Talisker Players, and in 2024 joined the violin section of the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra. A sought-after teacher and adjudicator, Martyn loves to work with children, both as a violin teacher and a choir director. She currently teaches privately and directs the Trinity United Church youth choir in Thunder Bay.\nIn her research at the University of Toronto, Martyn focused on the life and career of the nineteenth-century Swedish violinist and composer Amanda Maier and received numerous awards for her work. She has presented lecture-recitals in Ottawa, Toronto, and Calgary, and in 2017 performed the Canadian premiere of Maier’s 1891 piano quartet. Martyn has contributed to the Library of Congress Performing Arts blog “In the Muse” and has been interviewed about her research for several radio programmes, including BBC Radio 3 programme “Composer of the Week.”\nwomenofnotes.substack.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/wFbyW8_00TRk4ZXDjswnnf2tRNAVlJ6aouusylJstAo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kYTVk/YWI1MThkYzZhZTdi/MjI2NTk1M2RlOTE5/NzJkMC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
