The Swiss violist  Jenny Joelson got into contact with music at a very young age. After having taken violin lessons she discovered the viola as her instrument. For many years she was part of the Swiss Youth Symphony Orchestra, where she was also principal violist. As a member of the LGT Young Soloists she played many concerts, also as a soloist, in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Singapur and Taiwan.

​

She studied with Wendy Enderle-Champney at the Zurich University of the Arts and Thomas Riebl at the Mozarteum Salzburg. Jenny loves working in chamber music groups and has had the privilege of working with all the members of the Carmina Quartet and inspiring musicians such as Hariolf Schlichtig, Barbara Westphal and Jean Sulem. She finished her Masters degree under the guidance of Michel Rouilly and Ulrike Kauffmann. She gives on her knowledge to her own instrumental class with much enthusiasm.

​​

Baroque music and historical performance practice have always been important for Jenny. She plays the baroque viola and the viola da spalla, for which she took lessons from Sigiswald Kuijken. As a baroque violist, she is substitute in the Scintilla Orchestra of the Zurich Opera, and is also a substitute in the Orchestra of the Opera Zurich. Playing chamber music is her passion and she is a founding member of the DAS Quartett.

Due to her interest in management and organization, she also studied culture management.
