Jenni Zielke, Choir Director
Although Jennifer Warren-Zielke has been singing for years, choral conducting is a new experience for her. Jenni auditioned and was chosen to sing with the Florentine Opera Chorus in Milwaukee when she was 18 years old. She was also chosen to be a part of the Young Artist's Career Development Program through the Milwaukee Conservatory of Music, where she had the opportunity to study privately with world-renowned vocal coaches. Jenni is most proud of preparing for two Metropolitan Opera Auditions, each of which takes a full year of preparation, singing five arias in five different languages. Her latest "gig" is being a regular National Anthem singer for the Milwaukee Brewers for the last 9 years.
Conducting the Jerusalem Choir is a delightful new musical challenge for Jenni and she feels honored to be the leader of this fine group. Jenni's looking positively forward to learning through teaching sacred music on this side of the baton. Jenni lives in Waukesha with her husband Larry, and they are blessed to have Carol, her Mom living with them.

Originally from New Jersey, Heidi moved to Wisconsin with her family when she was eight years old.
