Jen Baker, trombonist/composer, has pioneered a widely diverse performing career based in redefining the role of trombone in contemporary music. She leads her own projects as a soloist and frequently collaborates with others internationally. Hailed for her "formidable sensitivity” (New York Times), she has “performed with brilliant mastery and virtuosity” (San Francisco Classical Voice) in festivals and concert halls worldwide. She is featured on Werner Herzog’s soundtrack to Encounters at the End of the World, appeared on Good Morning America, and leads her own projects as a soloist/composer/improviser. Her current solo project blends site-specific field recording with live performance: “Silo Songs” involves recording in a massive concrete grain silo with new multiphonics pieces in the naturally reverberant, dome-topped silo. She currently teaches trombone and composition at Sarah Lawrence College and Brooklyn Conservatory.
