Jenny Hettne is a Swedish composer of contemporary chamber, orchestra and electroacoustic music, focusing on the exploration of sound and timbre. Her composing often involves close and innovative collaborations with the musicians.
Jenny’s music, called ”a subtle sonorous poetry” and ”both surrealistic and groovy” is performed worldwide by ensembles such as Duo Harpverk (Iceland), Riot Ensemble (UK), New European Ensemble (The Netherlands), Busan Metropolitan Traditional Orchestra (South Korea), Quasar Saxophone Quartet (Canada), Gageego!, Gothenburg Combo, KammarensembleN, Stockholm Saxophone Quartet and UmeDuo (Sweden). Her piece A swarm came in from the dark, which the jury ”is already daring to proclaim a classic” was awarded the prestigious Järnåker Prize in 2018, the biggest chamber music prize in Sweden.
