My life has been a symphony of musical experiences! From the very beginning, the love of music penetrated my heart and home due to my parents\u2019 extraordinary gifts and talents. I learned from them that music is not only a gift from God, but that it is a tool whereby He can reach deep into the hearts of men and stir them to heights of joy and peace.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

My father\u2019s Ministry of Music at First Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas was expansive\u2014over 21 choirs!! My mother created and directed the graded choir program where children not only learned songs about God, but they were also taught how to read music and appreciate the great masters of music.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As a young person, I had the joy of singing under my parent\u2019s leadership. The Youth Choir Tours my father directed were monumental experiences in my life, both spiritually and musically. I was afforded opportunities to travel to Europe, Mexico, Canada, and the Orient and sang in beautiful concert halls to the smallest of churches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

My sister, brother and I often sang in special services along with my parents, and now those times are \u201cforever treasures\u201d in my heart! The passage of time brought sudden waves of change in my life as a young person.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Those waves were extremely hurtful and full of loss, but the constant of God\u2019s love\u2014the love I was taught through all of the songs I so easily sang\u2014that love is the reason I am here today. That love brings a peace that passes all understanding and keeps my heart and mind focused on things eternal. This eternal perspective is a result of a trusting relationship with Almighty God through His son, Jesus Christ, and His presence fills my life with joyful song\u2014a joy the world just cannot explain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, my heart\u2019s desire as a concert artist is to reflect my Creator through the gifts He has given me and to inspire others to seek Him. God promises us that if we seek Him with all our hearts, we will find Him. It is an unbelievable joy to know that He could use my voice, my music, to help soothe a troubled soul\u2014to encourage a weary person\u2014or to bring smiles to those who need some joy! The work is God\u2019s and I praise Him for using me as one of His tools. What an awesome experience!!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whether I am singing secular songs, sacred and spiritual selections, operatic arias, gospel songs, or even musical comedy, I feel His pleasure and presence\u2014and it is my prayer that you do, too!!<\/p>\r\n

Quotes<\/a><\/h4>\r\n

To hear Jenni Till sing is to be swept away by the majesty of music, the power of praise and the supernatural presence of the spirit. No artist combines innate musical gifts with Christian devotion in so profound a presentation. Hearing Jenni sing is a worship experience of the first magnitude.\u00a0\u2013 Dr. Gary Moore, Minister of Music, Second Baptist Church, Houston, Texas<\/i><\/p>\r\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
