Jennifer King’s latest solo piano album Souvenance is a collection of nocturnes, romances, and meditations grounded in the romantic era and branching into the 20th century. Including rarely heard music by Ethel Smyth, Clara Wieck-Schumann’s beloved "Notturno", and Jennifer’s own meditation on Joni Mitchell’s "Blue". This recital, and album, is an introspective journey rich with heartbreak, hope, strength, and tenderness. Recorded in Jennifer’s living room, Souvenance invites the listener to sit on the piano bench beside her for a deeply personal experience of the music. Souvenance’s composers are all women, most of whom faced formidable gender-based barriers to having their voices heard. Souvenance was named Record of the Week on CBC’s In Concert and is playlisted on Apple Music’s Pure Piano.
