When Jennifer moved to Arlington Heights 14 years ago she had the opportunity to team with her mentor, violinist Franz Benteler. "Wherever I play," says Jennifer, "people always tell me how much it meant to them to hear Franz play 'Edelweiss' or 'Fascination.' My wish is to follow in his footsteps and continue providing people enjoyable memories of being serenaded."
Twelve years ago requests began to flow in for a "program." "I usually stroll and take requests," Jennifer says. "And I do a musical serenade called a Violin-A-Gram for birthdays and anniversaries. So I started to think about what I could come up with."
What Jennifer came up with was a musical potpourri of her most popular requests and true stories about her career performing for famous people, places and events. To top it off, she portrays different musical styles with an assortment of quick change outfits, an introduction to the viola, and jokes that would have made Jack Benny proud.
