Bio

Jenni Hogan is a prolific performer and composer praised as “ravishing” (The Guardian) and for her ability to “knock off complex phrases, harmonics and extended techniques with such subtlety you’d hardly know what was involved” (BBC Music Magazine). Recent highlights include performances at St John’s Smith Square, on Sounds New BBC Radio 3, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Kettle’s Yard and the Barbican. Jenni is currently completing her PhD at the University of Leeds supervised by Scott McLaughlin and Emily Payne, where she is researching a reversal in the traditional sound/movement hierarchy. She has been fortunate to be granted the Stanley Burton Scholarship in support of her research.

Jenni has a strong interest in improvised music, working as part of ensembles, with dance, in solo and duo roles and as a recording artist in numerous films. She often works with a loop pedal to create a unique and spontaneous way of improvising and performing on the flute.  

Jenni regularly lectures at TrinityLaban on extended flute techniques. She is an passionate folk musician, with a particularly strong interest in Irish and Eastern European music, performing regularly with her group, Mooncoin, in and around London.

Reviews

Hogan … knocks off complex phrases, harmonics and extended techniques which such subtlety you’d hardly know what was involved.

Clare Jackson, BBC Music Magazine May 2021

flautist Jenni Hogan … a typical tapestry of ravishing inconsequences.

The Guardian 19/02/18

The performances from all concerned were excellent … Hogan provided fine instrumental counterparts …The result was full of striking and evocative textures.
