About Jen Shyu:
\nFrom East Timorese and Taiwanese parents, Jen Shyu began ballet training with the Peoria Ballet Company (PBC) at age 6, piano at 7 from Lew Brandes followed by Roger Shields (student of Soulima Stravinsky, Igor Stravinsky’s son), and violin at 8 from Ruth Livingston followed by Mihai Craioveanu. Her early accomplishments include dancing the role of Clara and other roles “en pointe” with the PBC; serving as concertmaster of the Central Illinois Concert Orchestra at age 10.<\/p>\n

Jen has also worked closely with actress\/performance artist Soomi Kim on her award-winning piece Lee\/gendary inspired by Bruce Lee, where Jen composed for and performed with Soomi at the the Beckett Theatre as part of the first National Asian American Theatre Festival.
\nAside from locally at venues such as Brooklyn Academy of Music and Lincoln Center and internationally throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa, Jen was a MacDowell Colony National Endowment for the Arts Fellow in 2008-2009 and has been awarded fellowships from the Asian Cultural Council, Jerome Foundation, the Bronx Council on the Arts, and special commissions from Roulette Space & the Jazz Gallery, for which she collaborated with choreographer\/dancer Satoshi Haga. She has done extensive music research in Cuba, Brazil, Taiwan, China, and most recently, East Timor.<\/p>\n

Jen currently records and tours with saxophonist\/composer Steve Coleman and Five Elements, and she recently sang the role of Shala in Anthony Braxton\u2019s opera, Trillium E, on a recording that will be released in 2011 or 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
