About

Composer and pianist Dr. Jenny H. Chou earned her Master of Music degree with high honors in both piano performance and harpsichord performance from Boston University in 1991. She then continued her studies at BU to earn her Doctor of Musical Arts degree in historic performance in 2004. Dr. Chou taught chamber music at Harvard University and harpsichord performance at Boston University, and performed as a pianist with Opera New England, as well as multiple choral groups in the States. Dr. Chou is a prominent Taiwanese composer whose works are widely performed across Asia, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. Her compositions are frequently selected for choral festivals and competitions, and she also has several commissioned compositions across both the United States and Asia. In 2017, a consortium of five different choral organizations came together in Taichung, Taiwan to perform a showcase concert solely dedicated to Dr. Chou's compositions and arrangements. Some of Dr. Chou's most widely performed pieces and arrangements include "雪花的快樂 (The Joy of the Snowflake)", "城南送別 (Farewell, Farewell)", “望春風 (Longing for the Spring Breeze)", "答案 (Answer)", and "Old Irish Blessing".
