Jeff Enns

I have known about and heard Jeff Enns’ music for many years. It has only been in the last year, however, that I’ve attached a face to that name, and not surprisingly it has been a face that I have seen many times, as a member of the DaCapo Chamber Choir. Jeff’s choral music has been published and performed by every major choir in Canada and I am sure many abroad.

But for me, Jeff was always “that other Enns, no relation to Leonard” that I would sometimes hear referred to when his music was being performed in the same concert as Leonard’s. This of course is solely due to my perception, hopefully not shared by others in our community, and which has now been corrected. The last DaCapo Chamber Choir concert featured two world premieres by the two Enns’ and I have mentioned earlier the enormous appeal these concerts.

It is in part because of music such as what these two composers have written that these concerts are what they are.
