Jenn Cornell

Jenn Cornell is a performer, composer and an educator, bringing cello across boundaries with her visionary style of playing, creating songs that stretch what a cello can be, and inspiring young musicians with her mentor approach to teaching. Jenn has had a diverse career as a professional musician beginning at age 11, when she realized she desired to play cello for the rest of her life. Since then, she has crossed over from classical into the genre-bending music she creates today in performance, film scoring, and education of the arts.

Jenn Cornell brings joy to every aspect of her music. She believes that performance is a visual art as well as auditory, where rhythm and movement become a dance of instrument and body. The artist is often joined on stage by her drummer, Emrah Kotan, who has a skill and fire matching Jenn’s high energy and virtuosity, which brings an exciting and progressive groove to the music.

Cornell’s cello stylings have also well to other artists, including: double-platinum Billboard artist B.o.B.; Michael Malarkey of the hit TV series “Vampire Diaries,” and to filmmaker Chris Anthony Hamilton in the original music soundtrack “Body and Son.”

The artist performs in many different venues, from performing arts centers, clubs, schools and universities, to one of her repeating engagements at the world’s busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson. There, she gets to keep her finger on the pulse of not only Atlanta, but also connecting her to the world and her music to it. In addition to performing, Jenn brings her music to hospitals and assisted living homes. She also mentors as head of the string department at the Community Music Centers of Atlanta.

Jenn Cornell believes that music has the power to move energy and continues to use hers to make the world a better place. Find out what she is up to by visiting www.jenncello.com.
