I had just taken a course on Henrik Ibsen (this was, after all, at St Olaf College, a Minnesota college founded by Norwegian-American Lutherans and very true to its heritage which was my heritage as well for that matter).

Kenneth Jennings

In addition to his music publications and recordings, Kenneth Jennings is the teacher and mentor of many prominent choral conductors, most notably René Clausen, composer, and conductor of The Concordia Choir; Anton Armstrong, his successor as conductor of the St. Olaf Choir; Craig Arnold, conductor of Luther College's Nordic Choir (fmr.); Bradley Ellingboe, Director of Choral Studies at University of New Mexico; John Helgen, composer; and Craig Hella Johnson, conductor.

Jennings prepared the choir to record Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe with the Minnesota Orchestra under the direction of Stanisław Skrowaczewski, and during his tenure, he arranged for several notable conductors to rehearse and lead the St. Olaf Choir in concert, including Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki, Bach specialist Helmuth Rilling, British organist Simon Preston, and Robert Shaw.
