Biography, Music Director Jenni Roditi MMus.
From the age of five Roditi was constantly composing songs and improvising on the piano, guitar, and with her voice. From the beginning of her professional life, as well as being a composer and performer, she has been a leader in the exploration of improvised voicework.
She began as a freelancer in school classrooms and teaching at the Guildhall School of Music. After her time in classrooms and with music undergraduates, she took a left turn towards experimental singing. From 1993, for thirteen years, she was a ‘therapeutic voice worker' running one-to-one sessions and groups.
By the time she was forty she had written three operas, theatre, orchestral, choral, chamber music, and many songs. She performed in her own opera "The Descent of Inanna" and as a pianist-vocalist, devising composing and producing work in collaboration with players around the piano.
In the three years from 2006 she revised and recorded her opera for archival promotion, and for Grimeborn Opera Festival. She then studied for two years for her MMus. In 2012 she launched Vocal Tai Chi bringing closer together her roles as artist and leader. In 2015 she founded The Improvisers’ Choir and as their conductor, performed widely in London and overseas in Istanbul, and recorded an album LAND MASS.
