Canadian soprano Jennie Such has garnered praise for the "glowing conviction" she brings to the stage in opera, concert and recital.

Recent operatic highlights include the roles of Janine/Ofwarren in the Canadian premiere of the Handmaid's Tale and First Niece in Peter Grimes at the Canadian Opera Company, Johanna in Calgary Opera's production of Sweeney Todd, Yum Yum in the Mikado with Edmonton Opera, Cherubino in Le Nozze di Figaro and Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni with Opera Atelier. Other principal roles have included Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro with Opera Ontario, Bianca in The Taming of the Shrew with Pacific Opera Victoria, Gianetta in L'Elisir d'Amore with Vancouver Opera and Seleuce in Handel's Tolomeo with Broomhill Opera in the U.K.

On the concert stage Jennie made her debut with the Vancouver Symphony and the Vancouver Chamber Choir in Brahms' Ein Deutches Requiem, for which the Globe and Mail wrote: "Such sang "Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit" with melting beauty of tone, her silvery instrument powerfully and movingly conveying the aria's warmth and sublime tenderness."

In her recent concert schedule Jennie has performed with the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, Mississauga Choral Society, Elmer Iseler Singers, Chorus Niagara, Symphony Nova Scotia and the MDR Choir and Orchestra, with whom she sang the first European performance and broadcast of Mozart's adaptation of Handel's Judas Maccabeus at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig and at the Handel Festival in Halle, under the baton of Howard Arman.

This season Jennie was the soprano soloist in Micheal Torke's score for the National Ballet of Canada's production of "The Contract" and reprised her role with the National Ballet Orchestra in New York at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. She sang a varied programme of song in the Aldeburgh Connection Recital Series, roles in Dido and Aeneas and Acteon with Opera Atelier and Handel's Messiah with the Guelph Chamber Choir and Symphony Nova Scotia.

Upcoming engagements include Handel's Messiah with the Vancouver Chamber Choir, and the Victoria Symphony and the Faure Requiem with the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir. A frequent soloist with Opera Atelier, Jennie will sing "Persephone" in Monteverdi's Orfeo and "Sidonie" in a new production of Armide conducted by Andrew Parrot with Opera Atelier.

Ms. Such's discography includes "Earth Chants" where she is featured as the soprano soloist in Imant Raminsh's Missa Brevis in C Minor with the Vanouver Chamber Choir and the CBC Radio Orchestra for CBC Records. She is also the soprano soloist on the National Ballet of Canada Orchestra's recording of "The Contract".

A native of London Ontario, Jennie is a recipient of a Career Development Grant from the Canada Council for the Arts, and was most recently awarded a Professional Development Grant from the Ontario Arts Council in May 2005.
