First chair violinist for the National Symphony Orchestra, Jenny Oaks Baker, will release The Jenny Oaks Baker Collection, with Salt Lake City’s Shadow Mountain Music Group April 19.

Baker, one of America’s most accomplished classical violinists, combines years of performing experience with 16 new arrangements of traditional hymns for a serenely transcendent result.

Baker began playing the violin at age four, and made her solo debut in 1983 when she was only eight years old. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in violin performance from the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, Baker went on to receive a master of Music degree from the renowned Julliard School in New York City.

In April 1999, Baker debuted at Carnegie Hall as a featured soloist in the Easter Festival Concert. She was a guest soloist with the Jerusalem Symphony, the San Diego Symphony, the Concerto Soloists Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, the Utah Symphony, the Orchestra at Temple Square, and the internationally acclaimed Mormon Tabernacle Choir in national television and radio broadcasts. Baker was also a guest artist in “An Evening of Celebration” with President Gordon B. Hinckley, a musical program for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints viewed around the world.

Baker’s experience in performing transfers to the recording studio as evident in her five best-selling albums. Her debut, On Wings of Song was released in 1998, followed by Songs My Mother Taught Me, Where Love Is, American Tapestry, and The Light Divine in 2003.

Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Dallin H. and the late June Oaks Baker now lives in Northern Virginia with her husband Matthew and their three daughters—Laura June, Hannah Jean and Sarah Noelle.
