Jennifer Blyth’s broad repertoire ranges from music of the early French Baroque period to new works of today’s leading composers. Her performing schedule has taken her to twelve states throughout the U.S., and she has appeared as a concerto soloist and recitalist (solo and chamber) in Russia, South Africa, Canada, England, Iceland, Germany, Spain, Italy and Australia.

Strongly influenced by the intellectual and cultural institutions of her native Australia as a young student, Blyth pursued an active interest in contemporary music while at Eastman School of Music. As a consequence, she now dedicates a large part of her career both as a soloist, and as a member of the Helding/Blyth Duo and Timaeus Ensemble, towards the performing and commissioning of new works by composers such as Augusta Read Thomas, Carter Pann, Pat Long, Kevin Putz, Robert Pound, Marc Pollard, Libby Larsen, Joan Tower, John Musto, Peter Sculthorpe, Gerald Shapiro, Frederic Rzewski, and Shulamit Ran.

She has collaborated with members of the Ying String Quartet, Amernet String Quartet, the Lydian String Quartet, members of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, principal members of the New World Symphony, Awadagin Pratt, Jerome Lowenthal and Malcom Bilson. Her concerts have been broadcast on National Public Radio, Canadian Broadcasting Commission, Australian Broadcasting Commission National Radio, and the Australian Broadcasting Commission Television Network.

Blyth has participated in masterclasses, lectures, open lessons, and residencies across three continents, and is currently on the faculty at Dickinson College, Pennsylvania. Her principal teachers include Stephanie Coleman, John Roberts, and Barry Snyder, of Eastman School of Music, where she completed her Master’s degree and Doctorate, majoring in Performance and Literature, and was awarded the prestigious Performer’s Certificate Prize (1996). This coming season includes performances at the Chicago Art Institute, Weill Recital Hall, Indiana State University, Furman University, the University of Toulouse in France, and the Conservatorio di Roma.
