Jenna Marie Moore

I am currently in my senior year of the flute performance degree at Colorado State University. I have completed both my junior and senior recitals where I have had the opportunity to perform works by Valerie Coleman, J.S. Bach, Herman Beeftink, Allison Loggins-Hull, Franz Schubert, Raymond Guiot, Jacques Ibert, Kazuo Fukushima, Erwin Schulhoff, and Gary Schocker. Throughout my time at Colorado State University, I have participated in several ensembles including the University Orchestra, Wind Symphony, Flute Choir, and two woodwind quintets. This semester, I was selected to perform in the pit orchestra for our opera production of Mozart’s “Cosi Fan Tutte,” and I will have the honor of performing the piccolo part on Ravel’s “Daphnis et Chloe Suite No. 2” for our last concert of the year. Additionally, I am the president of the Mu Tau Chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, an international women’s music fraternity. In March of this year, I was selected as the winner of the Joanne Kyhl Memorial Performance Competition hosted by the alumnae chapter in Denver, Colorado. I also regularly volunteer to perform for services at the Heart of Longmont United Methodist Church.

After I complete my bachelor’s degree, I will continue my education at Colorado State University to earn master’s degrees in both flute performance and arts management. My goal is to one day perform in a symphony orchestra while also holding an executive position for a nonprofit music organization. I am especially passionate about the ability of music to connect people across international borders. This was inspired by my participation in the Longmont International Friendship Exchange Band in which I had the opportunity to perform with fellow students from my school district in Colorado along with students of Tokai Suwa Senior High School in Chino, Japan. I hope to further explore how more incredible opportunities like this can be created for student musicians. In order to help achieve this goal, I am creating a proposal for a new music-focused study abroad program to serve as my University Honors Program Thesis. My hope is that this program will actually be implemented at the university in the future.
