Meet jenifer

Jenifer Thyssen sings soulfully, gently, powerfully, divinely - music which transports and heals, reconnects us and ties us to our past and our future through the musical expressions of human experience written by composers from the 1100's to today. Honored in her hometown of Austin as Best Classical Singer (by the Austin Critic’s Table Awards) in 2018, 2003, and nominated again for the award in 2007, 2008, and 2012, “Thyssen’s beautiful vocal storytelling” is an Austin staple. In 2001, Jenifer was given the honor to perform the Texas premiere of Handel’s “Gloria” which was at that time being premiered all over the world. Jenifer’s work as a founding member of Texas Early Music Project (TEMP) and with other early music ensembles and directors throughout Texas, has been the mainstay of her professional career while raising 7 beautiful children in the Texas Hill Country. Jenifer appears on TEMP’s first studio recording, “The Bonny Broom and Other Scottish Ballads”, almost all of TEMP’s performance recordings, various performance recordings by La Follia Austin Baroque and is featured on Linda Day’s CD “Love Your Enemies”. But her children’s favorite recording is her own album, “Dusk is Drawn” – folk lullabies from around the world, featuring lullabies in 7 languages and a track sung in French by her son Ethan when he was an 8 year old boy soprano! You may hear some of her Boston Early Music Festival concert recordings right above in the music player! Enjoy!
Sweet dreams
Dusk is drawn
Folk lullabies from around the world
A break from weary, long days, Mama! A way for you and baby to snuggle in together and connect and unwind on the way to dreamland. I teamed up with Darrel Mayers (guitar and percussion) on this album and together our vision was to create an album that honors children, with real instruments, inspiring the good and beautiful for their hearts to hear and be nurtured by. Sweet dreams!
