RECITALS AND COMMISSIONS
PROJECTS
IN RECITAL.
Soprano Jill Morgan Brenner offers a range of recital programs designed for curious listeners and adventurous presenters alike. From solo and collaborative programs to thematically curated evenings, her offerings are built with intention and care. As founder of the Poetry Project, she has championed newly commissioned song cycles since 2015, bringing fresh voices and living composers to the recital stage.
Founded in 2015, I Sing Words: The Poetry Project is Jill Morgan Brenner's ongoing initiative to commission, champion, and perform new and underrepresented vocal music. Rooted in a belief that the art song form is alive and vital, the Poetry Project creates space for voices and stories that fall outside the standard canon, bringing fresh repertoire to intimate concert settings.

I SING WORDS:
THE POETRY PROJECT.
I Sing Words: The Poetry Project is a series created by Jill Morgan Brenner designed to further the realm of vocal repertoire by commissioning new works, continuing the tradition of art song, and providing accessible new music to future performers and audiences. Since its genesis, she has premiered the works of eight composers in collaboration with eight living poets. Since those premiere concerts, these commissions have been performed by over ten new singers. Jill hopes to continue the dissemination of new music performed on these concerts, with the pieces being published and shared with other musicians. It is the intention that these works be represented by not just one premiere concert, but that the project serves as a catalyst for many performances to come. This not only provides new music for singers, but contributes to the financial well-being of today's new music composers and poets.
