Jennifer Kane, Artistic Director

Jennifer Kane is thrilled to join the Georgia Children’s Chorus as Artistic Director.  Most recently, Kane was a conductor with the Handel and Haydn Society Youth Choruses in Boston, Massachusetts, where she directed three treble voice ensembles for children and youth. With HHYC, Kane conducted choristers in prestigious venues such as Jordan Hall at New England Conservatory,  Boston Symphony Hall, and most notably, Hochstein Hall in Rochester, NY, to perform for the Eastern Division of the American Choral Directors Association. Previous appointments include Co-Founder and Artistic Director of the Worcester Children’s Chorus and the Conductor of the Spivey Hall Young Artists. 

In addition to her work with young voices, Kane is the Founder and Artistic Director of NOVA Women’s Choral Project, where she combines her passion for women’s choral repertoire with a love of building community, a belief in the strength of women’s voices, and an eagerness to forge new paths for the choral music experience. Kane has served as the Music Director of Cantilena Women’s Chorale, the Guest Conductor of the Concord Women’s Chorus, and the Director of Atlanta Schola Cantorum.

A frequent clinician and guest conductor, Kane has prepared choirs for collaborations with groups such as the Cantata Singers, the Back Bay Chorale, Boston Musica Viva, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Voices Rising, and the Worcester Chorus. She is one of the creators of Musical Wellness, a website highlighting musical wellness through musical practice and sponsored by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and pursues research in music and mental health, and vulnerability in the choral ensemble. Kane received a B.A. in Music from Furman University, an M.M. in Choral Conducting from Georgia State University, and a D.M.A. in Conducting from Boston University.  She also holds a Certificate in Arts Management from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
