WILLEN, Jenny

Jenny Willén is a singer and a composer from Gothenburg, Sweden. She has got fine reviews for her penetrating way of making lyrics, then combining them with music, and for the way she captures the audience at concerts. Jenny Willén Kvartett became an eleven-year project (1994-2005), with lyrics in Swedish and a traditional Scandinavian way of singing, also with influences of jazz and blues. Jenny Willén’s work includes music and lyrics for choirs as well as music for smaller ensembles like Gothenburg Chamber Soloists, the ensemble with whom she had an exciting project, Medan månen ser på (=While the moon is watching) in 2010.
