About the facilitator

In her adopted hometown of Calgary (Moh’kinsstis, Treaty 7), Kenna has earned a reputation as a fearless collaborative, teacher, writer and songwriter. Since doing her time in the institutional hallowed halls of classical music education, Kenna’s love for all creative forms has driven her involvement in a diversity of projects. Collaboratory and theatrical work dovetails into her daytime concerns of offering singalongs, teaching music and writing about creativity. Kenna’s solo albums span classical-cabaret-pop-rock and jazz; musical affairs that draw on her vast technical and artistic know-how. The complexities of her songwriting reflect the heart of an artist who is never content to restrict herself to one genre, one project, or one ideal. At present, her new album While She Sleeps is available now in Illuminated Songbook form on her website and audio form on streaming platforms everywhere.
