“…composer Jennifer Whyte’s live band punctuates the timeline succinctly. In fact, the music works
multiple duties here by heightening emotions, moving the story forward, containing the poetry and
counterpointing the beautiful singing in close harmonies by the eight-strong cast.”

Jennifer Whyte - STORIES
“I chose the album title Stories not only to reflect the fact that each of the pieces tells a story or has a story behind it but also because of recurring comments from people who hear my music that it conjures stories in their mind. I love the fact that the narratives and the images that the music evokes are unique and individual and personal to each listener. Therefore, there is no definitive story to each piece…only the story it tells you when you listen to it.”
